For decades, immunologists have studied the role of circulating immune cells in host
protection, with a more recent appreciation of immune cells resident within the tissue …

Myocardial infarction (MI), as a result of thrombosis or vascular occlusion, is the most
prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality among all cardiovascular diseases. The …

Tumor progression is accompanied by fibrosis, a condition of excessive extracellular matrix
accumulation, which is associated with diminished antitumor immune infiltration. Here we …

The immune response holds a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease development. As
multifunctional cells of the innate immune system, macrophages play an essential role in …

Inflammation must be tightly regulated to both defend against pathogens and restore tissue
homeostasis. The resolution of inflammatory responses is a dynamic process orchestrated …

Type 2 immunity mediates protective responses to helminths and pathological responses to
allergens, but it also has broad roles in the maintenance of tissue integrity, including wound …

The immune system plays a pivotal role in the initiation, development and resolution of
