Macrophages are immune cells of haematopoietic origin that provide crucial innate immune
defence and have tissue-specific functions in the regulation and maintenance of organ …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are key players in the immune system. Much of their biology has been
elucidated via culture systems in which hematopoietic precursors differentiate into DCs …

Macrophages are important players in the fight against viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic

Macrophages are myeloid immune cells that are strategically positioned throughout the
body tissues, where they ingest and degrade dead cells, debris, and foreign material and …

Angiogenesis is the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vasculature, which plays a
critical role in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as …

Despite the advances that have been made in developing new therapeutics, cardiovascular
