TLDR
Recent evidence suggests that differential modulation of the chemokine system integrates polarized macrophages in pathways of resistance to, or promotion of, microbial pathogens and tumors, or immunoregulation, tissue repair and remodeling.About:

Inflammation and cancer: breast cancer as a prototype.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss evidence supporting the view that TAM represent a unique and distinct M2-skewed myeloid population and a potential target of anti-cancer therapy.

Macrophage expression in endometrium of women with and without endometriosis
TL;DR: This study further supports an association between immune changes in eutopic endometrium and presence of endometriosis, however, it remains uncertain if eUTopic immune changes are primary or secondary occurrences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent pregnancy loss: A disease of inflammation and coagulation
TL;DR: Cellular immune responses (T, natural killer [NK], natural killer‐T [NKT], regulatory T [Treg] cells and their cytokines) and autoimmune abnormalities of women with RPL are reviewed and metabolic diseases and hematological conditions which often lead to thrombotic/inflammatory conditions are discussed in association with R PL.

Astrocytic transforming growth factor-beta signaling reduces subacute neuroinflammation after stroke in mice.
Egle Cekanaviciute,Nancy Fathali,Kristian P. Doyle,Aaron M. Williams,Jullet Han,Marion S. Buckwalter +5 more
TL;DR: TGFβ signaling is a molecular mechanism by which astrocytes limit neuroinflammation, activate TGFβ in the peri‐infarct cortex and preserve brain function during the subacute period after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrophage Polarization in the Development and Progression of Ovarian Cancers: An Overview.
TL;DR: The polarization of macrophages into the M1 and M2 phenotypes plays a pivotal role in ovarian cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis, and provides targets for macrophage-centered treatment in the cancer microenvironment for ovarian cancer therapy.

International Union of Pharmacology: Approaches to the Nomenclature of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels
William A. Catterall,K. G. Chandy,David E. Clapham,George A. Gutman,Franz Hofmann,Anthony J. Harmar,Darrell R. Abernethy,Michael Spedding +7 more
TL;DR: This issue of Pharmacological Reviews includes a new venture in the collaboration between the International Union of Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), in that a new classification of voltage-gated ion channels is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Macrophage polarization: tumor-associated macrophages as a paradigm for polarized M2 mononuclear phagocytes
Alberto Mantovani,Silvano Sozzani,Silvano Sozzani,Massimo Locati,Paola Allavena,Antonio Sica +5 more
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.

Qiutang Li,Inder M. Verma +1 more
TL;DR: The role of NF-κB proteins as potential therapeutic targets in clinical applications and their role in the immune system and inflammatory diseases are discussed.

Blood Monocytes Consist of Two Principal Subsets with Distinct Migratory Properties
TL;DR: Using a murine adoptive transfer system to probe monocyte homing and differentiation in vivo, two functional subsets among murine blood monocytes are identified: a short-lived CX(3)CR1(lo)CCR2(+)Gr1(+) subset that is actively recruited to inflamed tissues and a CX (3) CR1(hi)CCS1-dependent recruitment to noninflamed tissues.
