Ticam2 ablation facilitates monocyte exhaustion recovery after sepsis by Blake A. Caldwell, Susanti Ie, Amy Lucas, Liwu Li

“…Abstract Sepsis is a leading cause of death worldwide, with most patient mortality stemming from lingering immunosuppression in sepsis survivors. This is due in part to immune dysfunction resulting from monocyte exhaustion, a phenotype of reduced antigen presentation, altered CD14/CD16 inflammatory subtypes, and disrupted cytokine production. …”

Insights into CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling: the role of macrophage in radiotherapy by Qingchao Shang, Qingchao Shang, Pei Zhang, Xiao Lei, Lehui Du, Baolin Qu

“…Furthermore, inhibition of CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling combined with radiotherapy has been extensively studied to reduce immunosuppression and promote abscopal effect. In addition, cumulative evidence demonstrated that M2 phenotype macrophage is dominant in tissue fibrosis and the inhibition of CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling pathway ameliorated pulmonary fibrosis, including radiation-induced lung fibrosis. …”
