Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating macrophages can “reprogram” them in such a way to reduce inflammation and encourage faster, more effective healing in ...
Research led by Lancaster University has discovered that a class of antibiotics—fluoroquinolones—can directly alter the potential bacterial killing ability of one of our immune cells called the ...
When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in living cancer cells, enabling them to produce their own Upd3 and creating a ...
