TL;DR: A role for macrophages is revealed in collagen fibrillogenesis and in organization of the structure of terminal end buds in mice homozygous for a null mutation in the colony stimulating factor‐1 gene.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the significance and role of TGFβ in semen will facilitate development of novel therapies for immune-based infertility disorders and explain epidemiological observations linking acute and cumulative exposure to semen with successful placental development and pregnancy outcome.

TL;DR: A critical role for macrophages is defined in supporting the extensive vascular network required for corpus luteum integrity and production of progesterone essential for establishing pregnancy, raising the prospect that disruption of macrophage-endothelial cell interactions underpinning corpus lutingum development contributes to infertility in women in whom luteal insufficiency is implicated.

TL;DR: Significant inroads are being made into the understanding of MD, which may lead to benefits in clinical screening, assessment and treatment strategies, and the biological and genetic pathways that determine and perhaps modulate MD remain largely unresolved.

TL;DR: A review of the current literature on mammographic density and its association with breast cancer risk is presented in this article, where the authors provide a timely update on the current understanding of MD's association with BC risk, which may lead to benefits in clinical screening, assessment and treatment strategies.
