These macrophages were not present in the lung before infection (left) and most were no longer detected two weeks after infection (right). Blue spots are nuclei of normal lung cells.

DENVER — Researchers at National Jewish Health and colleagues have completed the first study comparing lung macrophages in multiple models of lung injury. The research indicates that macrophages ...

we employed tissue deconvolution and linear regression to model the lung immune cell changes that occurred during mild or severe influenza virus infections. Modeling accurately predicted known ...

Our bodies have a defence against such invaders – cells called macrophages which can ‘eat up’ these particles and clear them out of our lungs again. The problem is keeping PM levels low ...

London, A team of Swedish researchers has revealed how different kinds of immune cells, called macrophages, develop in the lungs, and which of them may be behind severe lung diseases, a discovery ...
