Monocytopenia describes a low number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell. Monocytes are made in the bone marrow and account for 2% to 6% of white blood cells at any given time. They work ...

Healthy bone marrow is essential to living. Sickle cell anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anemia are some life-threatening diseases that occur when the bone marrow fails to function properly.

The authors present solid evidence for its increased expression in stimulated monocytes/macrophages, its direct bactericidal functions, as well as its role in the modulation of monocyte ...

Taken together, these data indicate likely parallels between the pathways and effects of CN-NFAT activation in monocytes and neutrophils, further solidifying NFAT as a central player in myeloid cell ...

Consistent with this, elevated blood monocyte numbers have been reported to correlate with renal function, ASCVD and risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (18, 19). Monocytes are a ...

They are not worn on Shabbat. The researchers measured participants’ vital signs, drew blood for analysis of circulating cytokines and monocyte function and also measured blood flow in the ...

cardiac function. 16 Because of the limited regenerative capacity within the adult mammalian heart, prompt clearance of cellular debris generated during injury is necessary for activation of ...

In this issue of Circulation Research, Zhou et al 13 report the identification of a novel protein, designated MCPIP (MCP-induced protein), which is expressed in human monocytes and cardiomyocytes ...
