The chemokine system in diverse forms of macrophage activation and polarization.

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.

Mesenchymal stem cells: environmentally responsive therapeutics for regenerative medicine

TL;DR: Allogeneic MSC treatments, categorized as a drug by regulatory agencies, have been widely pursued, but new studies demonstrate the efficacy of autologous MSC therapies, even for individuals affected by a disease state.

Increased Inflammatory Properties of Adipose Tissue Macrophages Recruited During Diet-Induced Obesity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that recruited ATMs in obese animals represent a subclass of macrophages with unique properties, and ATMs from obese mice had increased lipid content compared with those from lean mice.

Macrophage Polarization: Different Gene Signatures in M1(LPS+) vs. Classically and M2(LPS-) vs. Alternatively Activated Macrophages.

TL;DR: This fundamental discrepancy explains why most surface markers identified on in vitro generated macrophages do not translate to the in vivo situation and is justified by comparing the gene lists positively or negatively correlated with the ratio of IL-12 and arginase 1 in transcriptomes of LPS-treated peritoneal macrophades.

Regulatory interactions between muscle and the immune system during muscle regeneration

TL;DR: Evidence that indicates that the response of myeloid cells to muscle injury promotes muscle regeneration and growth is evaluated, showing that transitions in macrophage phenotype are an essential component of muscle regeneration in vivo following acute or chronic muscle damage.

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.
