UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. The research, which has far-reaching implications for immunology, vaccine development and drug delivery, is published today online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Samir Mitragotri, a UCSB professor of chemical engineering, and graduate student Julie A....Rat Anti-Mouse Macrophages, Metallophilic Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from AbD Serotec

Researchers from Harvard Medical School had discovered a kind of immune cells called macrophages are behind the growth of new lymph vessels in the eyes. These new lymph vessels help in healing of the eyes in case of there being any wounds. // The discovery of this new role for the macrophage, published in the September 2005 Journal of Clinical Investigation, may ultimately inspire inn...Macrophages may Help Prevent Obesity
Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have found that macrophages, the scavenger cells of the body's immune system known as troublemakers for their role in obesity, may sometimes be beneficial for metabolism. The new finding is based on a study that highlights the beneficial role of macrophages in combating the effects of a high fat diet in mice. "Macroph...
