The present review focuses on macrophage properties in Wallerian degeneration. The
identification of hematogenous phagocytes, the involvement of cell surface receptors and …

Macrophages play an important role in host defense reactions, for example, by phagocytosis
of particulate materials. This process also results in the rapid removal of targeting devices …

Clodronate, alendronate, and other bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of
bone diseases characterized by excessive osteoclastic bone resorption. The exact …

To study the in vivo role of alveolar macrophages (AM) in gram-negative bacterial
pneumonia in mice, AM were eliminated by the intratracheal (it) administration of …

Based on the hypothesis that tissue macrophages present an obstacle for adenovirus (Ad)
vector-mediated gene transfer to internal organs, this study evaluated the consequences of …

Macrophages play a key role in the immune defense against pathogens. They control early
invasion by antigen‐unspecific phagocytosis of pathogens and act as professional antigen …

Abstract Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is the principal regulator of cells of the
mononuclear phagocytic lineage that includes monocytes, tissue macrophages, microglia …

We describe the synthesis of biodegradable poly (ethyleneglycol)-coupled galactolipids in
which the galactose moiety is separated from a diacylglyceride lipid anchor by poly …

Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are thought to be responsible for the
eradication of respiratory influenza virus infections by direct cytolysis of virus-infected …

The presence of clonal macrophages in pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue represents an
early stage of the disease in which clonal expansion of macrophages occurs due to HIV …
