Monocytes and macrophages have crucial and distinct roles in tissue homeostasis and
immunity, but they also contribute to a broad spectrum of pathologies and are thus attractive …

Monocytes originate from progenitors in the bone marrow and traffic via the bloodstream to
peripheral tissues. During both homeostasis and inflammation, circulating monocytes leave …

These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the
immunology and flow cytometry community. They provide the theory and key practical …

Dendritic cells (DCs) form a remarkable cellular network that shapes adaptive immune
responses according to peripheral cues. After four decades of research, we now know that …

The skin is a complex organ that has devised numerous strategies, such as physical,
chemical, and microbiological barriers, to protect the host from external insults. In addition …

As the professional antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, dendritic cells (DCs)
sense the microenvironment and shape the ensuing adaptive immune response. DCs can …

The skin is the outermost organ of the body and is continuously exposed to external
pathogens. Upon inflammation, various immune cells pass through, reside in or are …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent and versatile antigen-presenting cells, and their ability to
migrate is key for the initiation of protective pro-inflammatory as well as tolerogenic immune …

Macrophages (MPs) are important for skeletal muscle regeneration in vivo and may exert
beneficial effects on myogenic cell growth through mitogenic and antiapoptotic activities in …

The cellular immune response to tissue damage and infection requires the recruitment of
blood leukocytes. This process is mediated through a classical multistep mechanism, which …
