TLDR
It is shown that in addition to normal PMN (PMN-N), there are at least two distinct subsets of PMNs (PMn-I and PMN-II) distinguished as follows: cytokine and chemokine production and surface antigen expression.

Neutrophil recruitment and function in health and inflammation

TL;DR: The key features of the life of a neutrophil are discussed, from its release from bone marrow to its death, and the mechanisms that are used by neutrophils to promote protective or pathological immune responses at different sites are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophils and immunity: challenges and opportunities.

TL;DR: Neutrophils inform and shape immune responses, contribute to the repair of tissue as well as its breakdown, use killing mechanisms that enrich the concepts of specificity, and offer exciting opportunities for the treatment of neoplastic, autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polarization of Tumor-Associated Neutrophil Phenotype by TGF-β: “N1” versus “N2” TAN

TL;DR: It is suggested that TGF-beta within the tumor microenvironment induces a population of TAN with a protumor phenotype, and depletion of these neutrophils significantly blunts antitumor effects of treatment and reduces CD8(+) T cell activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophils in the activation and regulation of innate and adaptive immunity

TL;DR: Neutrophils have long been viewed as the final effector cells of an acute inflammatory response, with a primary role in the clearance of extracellular pathogens, but more recent evidence has extended the functions of these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage plasticity and polarization in tissue repair and remodelling.

TL;DR: Mononuclear phagocyte plasticity includes the expression of functions related to the resolution of inflammation, tissue repair and remodelling, particularly when these cells are set in an M1 or an M2‐like activation mode.

Antimicrobial peptides of multicellular organisms

TL;DR: As the need for new antibiotics becomes more pressing, could the design of anti-infective drugs based on the design principles these molecules teach us?
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

Mechanisms of phagocytosis in macrophages

TL;DR: Macrophages also play an important role in the recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells; a notable feature of this process is the absence of an inflammatory response.
Journal ArticleDOI

M-1/M-2 macrophages and the Th1/Th2 paradigm.

TL;DR: The results indicate that M-1- or M-2-dominant macrophage responses can influence whether Th1/Th2 or other types of inflammatory responses occur.
