Monocytes, a special type of white blood cell, secrete cytokines as inflammatory messengers that are crucial for an appropriate immune response. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and ...

The ability of a cell to divide, to proliferate, is essential for life and gives rise to the formation of complex organisms from a single cell. It also allows the replacement of used cells from a ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers examined the functionality of cluster of differentiation 14-positive (CD14 +) monocytes in patients with mild or moderate coronavirus ...

New function of blood monocytes (IMAGE) University of Liège Caption Illustration shows the new function of blood monocytes, namely their ability to proliferate in tissues before differentiating into ...

(from left) Dr. Ibrahim Hawwari, Prof. Bernardo Franklin and Lukas Roßnagel discover new intercellular communication mechanism in which blood platelets, so-called thrombocytes, regulate the function ...

Microglia in the brain’s parenchyma arise from macrophage progenitors in the embryonic yolk sac (Ginhoux et al., 2010), and are thought to self-renew locally during a mammal’s lifespan, without ...

Brain macrophages serve diversified niches in the brain to maintain the organ’s homeostasis, and can play pathogenic roles in age-related brain disease. Hoping to one day replace dysfunctional ...

A new report builds on previous research that could help scientists better understand type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. Altered levels and activity of monocytes appear to correlate with the progression of ...

MLR may be a useful marker for assessing activity and progression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with CLL had significantly lower MLR values compared to healthy individuals, with ...
