macrophages

We shouldn't call it a vaccine when, in fact, it's just a line of cocaine for macrophages.

Right and if that is such a good thing why are those macrophages not always on alert.

EPO (erythropoietin) (aside from stimulating red-blood-cell production) also converts tumor-local macrophages from attacking to suppressing immune attacks.

Tumors spontaneously regressed due to revived immune response when blocking either EPO or the EPO receptor on the macrophages.

If macrophages are less active, perhaps infection rates go up, which can contribute to death.

When there are too many lipoprotein particles than your cells can safely clear, macrophages end up being targeted by the particles.

People discovered that macrophages (which play a large role in cancer) can express olfactory receptors.

When that question was more easily answered you could probably have pointed to macrophages.

There's probably a nice project in here to figure out what the receptors are on the macrophages that are modulating this process.

I think macrophages are the largest cells in the blood; they typically are 20 micrometer or 2E-5m in diameter.

The treatment also supposedly activates macrophages in the lungs (and thus not elsewhere).

Could be about skin cancer or macrophages that feed on the ink.

Perhaps not to the amount of the 52% gains mentioned here, but the website does not mention this at all whatsoever; the word "macrophages" occurs only twice on total.

"Frustrated phagocytosis" is the name for the way macrophages become locked in a never ending spiral of eat, die poison loops around the asbestos.

> It is given as a nasal spray and leaves white blood cells in our lungs – called macrophages – on "amber alert" and ready to jump into action no matter what infection tries to get in.

"Although macrophages also attacked blood cells expressing CD47 when mice were given the antibody, the researchers found that the decrease in blood cells was short-lived; the animals turned up production of new blood cells to replace those they lost from the treatment" That's great -- does anyone know if any other cells in the body express CD47?

Neutrophils & Macrophages: The Decontamination Crew With the bleeding under control, the wound site is vulnerable to infection.

Macrophages that take on too many damaged particles (damaged by the fatty acid oxidizing) can ram into arterial walls, which summons platelets to try to fix it.
