Macrophage Infiltration

Molecular classification: Cellular Process, Immune Response

Overview

Macrophage infiltration refers to the process by which macrophages migrate into tissues in response to various signals. This phenomenon is observed in multiple physiological and pathological contexts, including inflammation, tissue remodeling, infection response, tumor microenvironments, and metabolic disorders. Targeting macrophage infiltration is explored as a therapeutic strategy in diseases like cancer and obesity.

Mechanism of action

Modulation of macrophage recruitment and polarization.
