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.

Immune system and atherosclerotic disease: heterogeneity of leukocyte subsets participating in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The role of the complex heterogeneity of leukocyte subsets, especially monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, DCs, and CD4(+) cells, in the initiation and development of atherosclerotic disease and its complications is explored.

Macrophages: Their Untold Story in T Cell Activation and Function.

TL;DR: The role Macrophages play in cancer to either activate or inhibit T cells based on macrophage phenotype, costimulatory molecules, and cytokine secretion is highlighted as an example of how macrophages can significantly alter T cell activation and effector function in human disease.

Fractalkine overexpression suppresses tau pathology in a mouse model of tauopathy.

TL;DR: It is reported here that soluble fractalkine overexpression using adeno-associated viral vectors significantly reduced tau pathology in the rTg4510 mouse model of tau deposition, and agonism at fractalkin receptors might be an excellent target for therapeutic intervention in tauopathies, including those associated with amyloid deposition.

CCL2 and CXCL12 Derived from Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Cooperatively Polarize IL-10+ Tissue Macrophages to Mitigate Gut Injury

TL;DR: The BM-MSC-derived chemokine interactome dictates an IL-10+-macrophage-amplified anti-inflammatory response in toxic colitis.

Precisely defined fiber scaffolds with 40 μm porosity induce elongation driven M2-like polarization of human macrophages.

TL;DR: These scaffolds facilitate primary human macrophage elongation accompanied by differentiation towards the M2 type, which was most pronounced for the smallest pore size of 40 µm, which can be important in helping to design new biomaterials with an enhanced positive impact on tissue regeneration.

International Union of Pharmacology: Approaches to the Nomenclature of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-kappaB regulation in the immune system.

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.
