A recent study published in Science Immunology summarized the role of resident tissue macrophages (RTMs) in homeostasis and disease. Study: Resident tissue macrophages: Key coordinators of tissue ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but this isn’t the case in adults. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to ...

The results of research by scientists at Trinity College Dublin and St. Vincent’s University Hospital offer new insights into the cellular and genetic features of joint inflammation in rheumatoid ...

Resident macrophages dwell in virtually every tissue in the body. They maintain order, ward off threats, and make repairs. The tailor their specific functions to each organ—for example, microglia in ...

Eyes are the windows to the world, but vision can decline with age or other factors. Impairment of the eye’s drainage system can lead to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Over time, increased IOP ...
