Decidual Macrophages and Their Roles at the Maternal-Fetal Interface
The semi-allogeneic fetus, whose genome consists of maternally and paternally inherited alleles, must coexist with an active maternal immune system during its 9 months in utero. Macrophages are the second most abundant immune cell at the maternal-fetal interface, although populations and functions for these populations remain ill defined. We have previously reported two distinct subsets of CD14...
متن کاملAcidic bone matrix proteins and their roles in calcification.
Mammalian bones are composed of calcium phosphate crystals in a protein matrix. The major form of the calcium phosphate is hydroxyapatite. The most abundant matrix protein in bone is type I collagen. Collagen contributes to the mechanical properties of bone and is necessary for calcification of the tissue. In addition to collagen, several acidic proteins are present as minor components. Osteoca...
متن کاملResponse to Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide Resemble Human Macrophages in Their Pig Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages
Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) grown in M-CSF (CSF-1) have been used widely in studies of macrophage biology and the response to TLR agonists. We investigated whether similar cells could be derived from the domestic pig using human rCSF-1 and whether porcine macrophages might represent a better model of human macrophage biology. Cultivation of pig bone marrow cells for 5–7 d in pr...
متن کاملGenotype and phenotype of COVID-19: Their roles in pathogenesis
COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus with an outbreak of unusual viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, and then pandemic. Based on its phylogenetic relationships and genomic structures the COVID-19 belongs to genera Betacoronavirus. Human Betacoronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV) have many similarities, but also have differences in their genomic and phenotypic structure that can influence th...
متن کاملEmerging roles for macrophages in cardiac injury: cytoprotection, repair, and regeneration.
The mammalian heart contains a population of resident macrophages that expands in response to myocardial infarction through the recruitment of monocytes. Infarct macrophages exhibit high phenotypic diversity and respond to microenvironmental cues by altering their functional properties and secretory profile. In this issue of the JCI, de Couto and colleagues demonstrate that infiltrating macroph...
