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 responses at the maternal-fetal interface.

TL;DR: It is discussed how the decidua and placenta of these different species form key immunological barriers that sustain maternal tolerance yet generate innate immune responses that prevent microbial infections.

Macrophage Participation in the Degradation and Remodeling of Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds

TL;DR: Results showed that peripheral blood monocytes are required for the early and rapid degradation of both SIS scaffolds and autologous body wall, and that CDI crosslinked SIS is resistant to macrophage-mediated degradation.

Mechanisms Underlying the Rapid Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ-Mediated Amyloid Clearance and Reversal of Cognitive Deficits in a Murine Model of Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: Pioglitazone treatment resulted in the phenotypic polarization of microglial cells from a proinflammatory M1 state, into an anti-inflammatory M2 state that was associated with enhanced phagocytosis of deposited forms of amyloid and supports the therapeutic utility of PPARγ agonists for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid-derived suppressor cells are pleiotropic-inflamed monocytes/macrophages that bear M1- and M2-type characteristics

TL;DR: Tumor‐infiltrating MDSCs bear pleiotropic characteristics of M1 and M2 monocytes/macrophages, and CD206 expression by tumor‐in Filtering M DSCs appears to be regulated by an autocrine mechanism that involves TGF‐β.

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.
