Accumulation of foam cells — macrophages with intracellular lipid droplets — in arterial walls is a hallmark of atherosclerosis. Bernelot Moens and colleagues report increases in circulating monocytes ...

Radiotherapy has long been one of the most dependable weapons in the oncologist’s arsenal, delivering precisely targeted ...

Non-classical monocytes were long thought to play a purely surveillance role in the immune system. With the aid of a novel marker (PD-L1), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) researchers in Munich ...

A preclinical study published in Myeloid Cells reports that AS01, a vaccine adjuvant system, can induce trained immunity in human monocytes and reduce tumour growth in selected mouse cancer models.

A high monocyte count, referred to as monocytosis, occurs when the body is subject to acute or chronic inflammation caused by things like infections, trauma, medications, autoimmune diseases, and ...

A new report builds on previous research that could help scientists better understand type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. Altered levels and activity of monocytes appear to correlate with the progression of ...

The cause of the inflammatory lung disease sarcoidosis is unknown. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated whether a type of immune cell called a monocyte ...

Monocytes, a special type of white blood cell, secrete cytokines as inflammatory messengers that are crucial for an appropriate immune response. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and ...

University of Manchester immunologists are the first to make an interesting observation about the white blood cells of patients with COVID-19. A particular subset of these cells, called monocytes, ...
