Overview

This review examines macrophage subtypes and polarization effects on inflammation, suggesting new therapeutic strategies for immune-related diseases.

Key Points

  • Macrophages are diverse immune cells crucial for both innate and adaptive immunity.
  • Tissue-resident macrophages have specific functions influenced by their microenvironment and polarization states.
  • Polarization imbalances in macrophages can lead to conditions like neuroinflammation and liver fibrosis.
  • Emerging therapies aim to modulate macrophage behavior to treat inflammatory and age-related diseases.
