Involvement of Caspases in Neutrophil Apoptosis: Regulation by Reactive Oxygen Species
Abstract Human neutrophils have a short half-life and are believed to die by apoptosis or programmed cell death both in vivo and in vitro. We found that caspases are activated i...
Macrophage plasticity, polarization, and function in health and disease
Macrophages are heterogeneous and their phenotype and functions are regulated by the surrounding micro‐environment. Macrophages commonly exist in two distinct subsets: 1) Classi...
