In patients with kidney fibrosis, there is an imbalance between M1 and M2 macrophages. In this situation, M2 macrophages, which normally suppress inflammation, proliferate excessively and secrete ...

This study reveals that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) drive macrophage-derived chemokine production (CXCL9/10/11) to promote CD8+ T cell ...

In sepsis-induced AKI, Csf2, which is a cytokine secreted by injured TECs, promotes the transition of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages. Interestingly, certain M2 macrophages that express CD206 and ...
