Bone marrow macrophages maintain hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niches and their depletion mobilizes HSCs

TL;DR: It is established that bone marrow macrophages are pivotal to maintain the endosteal HSC niche and that the loss of such macrophage leads to the egress of HSCs into the blood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteal tissue macrophages are intercalated throughout human and mouse bone lining tissues and regulate osteoblast function in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that OsteoMacs are an integral component of bone tissues and play a novel role in bone homeostasis through regulating osteoblast function and implicate OsteiMacs, in addition to osteoclasts and osteoblasts, as principal participants in bone dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling macrophage contributions to bone repair

TL;DR: There is strong justification to pursue strategies targeting macrophages and/or their products for improving normal bone healing and overcoming failed repair, and emerging data support that macrophage influence extends into both anabolic and catabolic phases of repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture Healing via Periosteal Callus Formation Requires Macrophages for Both Initiation and Progression of Early Endochondral Ossification

TL;DR: The distribution, phenotype, and requirement of macrophages for fracture-associated inflammation and/or early anabolic progression during endochondral callus formation were investigated in this paper.
