Journal ArticleDOI

Protective and pathogenic functions of macrophage subsets

TL;DR: The four stages of orderly inflammation mediated by macrophages are discussed: recruitment to tissues; differentiation and activation in situ; conversion to suppressive cells; and restoration of tissue homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of fibrosis.

TL;DR: Current understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of fibrogenesis is explored and components of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (ANG II) have been identified as important regulators of fibrosis and are being investigated as potential targets of antifibrotic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage biology in development, homeostasis and disease

TL;DR: This Review discusses how macrophage regulate normal physiology and development, and provides several examples of their pathophysiological roles in disease, and defines the ‘hallmarks’ of macrophages according to the states that they adopt during the performance of their various roles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of fibrosis: therapeutic translation for fibrotic disease

TL;DR: How cell-intrinsic changes in important structural cells can perpetuate the fibrotic response by regulating the differentiation, recruitment, proliferation and activation of extracellular matrix–producing myofibroblasts is described.
