Macrophage

Macrophages are crucial for disease defense and tissue repair, with recent research by Dr. Fernando Martinez Estrada highlighting their activation via the CSF1R marker. This marker helps differentiate macrophages from monocytes and dendritic cells, aiding in their study across various health conditions. Macrophage activation, traditionally seen as pro- or anti-inflammatory, is now understood as a spectrum influenced by the environment. New multi-gene tools targeting immune signals like IL-4, IFNg, and LPS help measure macrophage responses, paving the way for innovative drug development.
