Macrophage-Mediated Inflammation in Normal and Diabetic Wound Healing.

TLDR
This review highlights the molecular and epigenetic factors that influence MΦ polarization in both physiologic and pathologic wound healing, with particular attention to diabetic wounds.
Abstract
The healing of cutaneous wounds is dependent on the progression through distinct, yet overlapping phases of wound healing, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and resolution/remodeling. The failure of these phases to occur in a timely, progressive fashion promotes pathologic wound healing. The macrophage (MΦ) has been demonstrated to play a critical role in the inflammatory phase of tissue repair, where its dynamic plasticity allows this cell to mediate both tissue-destructive and -reparative functions. The ability to understand and control both the initiation and the resolution of inflammation is critical for treating pathologic wound healing. There are now a host of studies demonstrating that metabolic and epigenetic regulation of gene transcription can influence MΦ plasticity in wounds. In this review, we highlight the molecular and epigenetic factors that influence MΦ polarization in both physiologic and pathologic wound healing, with particular attention to diabetic wounds.

A lineage of myeloid cells independent of Myb and hematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: Schulz et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether adult macrophages all share a common developmental origin and found that a population of yolk-sac-derived, tissue-resident macophages was able to develop and persist in adult mice in the absence of hematopoietic stem cells.

Wound healing: cellular mechanisms and pathological outcomes.

TL;DR: The cellular basis of tissue repair is reviewed and how current and emerging understanding of wound pathology could inform future development of efficacious wound therapies are discussed.

Therapeutic strategies for enhancing angiogenesis in wound healing.

TL;DR: This review surveys the creation of new treatments for healing cutaneous wounds through therapeutic angiogenesis and discusses the challenges and advancement that have been made in delivering biologic, pharmaceutical and cell-based therapies as enhancers of wound vascularity and healing.

Tumor-derived lactate induces M2 macrophage polarization via the activation of the ERK/STAT3 signaling pathway in breast cancer

TL;DR: It is shown that lactate is a pivotal oncometabolite in the TME that drives macrophage M2-polarization to promote breast cancer proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis and that the activation of ERK/STAT3, major signaling molecules in the lactate signaling pathway, deepens the molecular understanding of how lactate educates TAMs.

Multifunctional and Recyclable Photothermally Responsive Cryogels as Efficient Platforms for Wound Healing

TL;DR: This novel biorenewable cryogel demonstrates excellent hygroscopic and hemostatic performance, photothermal antimicrobial activity, and accelerates skin regeneration, which has great application potential as a promising wound dressing material in the clinical use.

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: Transcript expression in perigonadal adipose tissue from groups of mice in which adiposity varied due to sex, diet, and the obesity-related mutations agouti (Ay) and obese (Lepob) found that the expression of 1,304 transcripts correlated significantly with body mass.

Alternative activation of macrophages

TL;DR: The evidence in favour of alternative macrophage activation by the TH2-type cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 is assessed, and its limits and relevance to a range of immune and inflammatory conditions are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monocyte and macrophage heterogeneity

TL;DR: Recent studies have shown that monocyte heterogeneity is conserved in humans and mice, allowing dissection of its functional relevance: the different monocyte subsets seem to reflect developmental stages with distinct physiological roles, such as recruitment to inflammatory lesions or entry to normal tissues.

Macrophage polarization: tumor-associated macrophages as a paradigm for polarized M2 mononuclear phagocytes

TL;DR: These functionally polarized cells, and similarly oriented or immature dendritic cells present in tumors, have a key role in subversion of adaptive immunity and in inflammatory circuits that promote tumor growth and progression.
