Deciphering Split Monopoiesis Impact on Tissue Macrophages
Macrophages are key players in organ development, tissue maintenance, and the immune defense of vertebrate organisms. These cells are initially established during embryonic development, but most tissue-resident macrophage compartments are progressively seeded and often even replaced by monocyte-derived cells. Monocytes and their macrophage progeny critically contribute to a wide range of pathologies, including autoinflammatory, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders, as well as cancer. Given their central role in physiology and pathophysiology, these cells are attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. This will, however, require an in-depth understanding of monocyte-to-macrophage…
