2. Macrophage polarization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage_polarization

   Macrophage polarization is a process by which macrophages adopt different functional programs in response to the signals from their microenvironment. This ability is connected to their multiple roles in the organism: they are powerful effector cells of the innate immune system, but also important in removal of cellular debris, embryonic development and tissue repair.

3. Tumor-associated macrophage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor-associated_macrophage

   M1 macrophages are seen to have a pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic (anti-tumoral) function; M2 macrophages are anti-inflammatory (pro-tumoral) and promote wound healing. However, use of the M1/M2 polarization paradigm has led to confusing terminology since M1/M2 are used to describe mature macrophages, but the activation process is complex and ...

4. Regulatory macrophages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_macrophages

   Regulatory macrophages (Mregs) represent a subset of anti-inflammatory macrophages. In general, macrophages are a very dynamic and plastic cell type and can be divided into two main groups: classically activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2). [1] M2 group can further be divided into sub-groups M2a, M2b, M2c, and ...

5. Smoker's macrophages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoker's_macrophages

   A macrophage can be polarized into the classic M1 or M2 phenotype, and this phenomenon can be seen in cigarette consumption. [2] In this polarization scheme, lower M1 markers and higher M2 markers have been observed. [4] The reprogram of macrophage implies a dysregulated inflammation that can damage healthy lung cells.

6. Macrophage-activating factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage-activating_factor

   Macrophages have been classified as M1 or M2 depending on the adaptive immune response that elicited the phenotype: Th1 or Th2 respectively. [2] [4] [5] The phrase 'alternatively activated macrophage' is used to refer to M2 macrophages. [2] Regulatory macrophages do not fit into the M1/M2 classification system, and they display different ...

   High sodium diets may increase your risk of developing high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, gastric cancer, osteoporosis, kidney disease and Meniere’s disease, per the WHO.

8. Kupffer cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupffer_cell

   M1 (classical activation) and M2 (alternative activation) designate the two extremes of macrophage polarization. M1-polarized Kupffer cells produce a large amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha. On the other hand, M2-polarized Kupffer cells produce a large quantity of anti-inflammatory mediators, for example, IL-10. [9] [4]
