Cancer biologists give the name tumor -

However, when these myeloid cells migrate to tumor sites, they can differentiate to tumor
associated macrophages (TAMs), which can in turn stimulate the formation of blood vessels in tumors and promote enhanced tumor cell invasion and motility.
But often tumors hijack them and convert them into what are known as «tumor -
associated macrophages,» or TAMs for short.

They show that highly purified NS1 acts as a pathogen -
associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that activates mouse
macrophages and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in culture via TLR4, resulting in release of inflammatory cytokines — an effect that was blocked by either a TLR4 antagonist or an anti-TLR4 antibody.

macrophage accumulation in the subcutaneous depot may plateau at high degrees of adiposity, or that abnormalities
associated with leptin deficiency may cause decreased
macrophage accumulation specifically in the subcutaneous depot (Figure 3d).

To determine whether adipose tissue
macrophages express any molecules implicated in obesity -
associated complications, we isolated three cell populations from the parametrial adipose tissue of three obese B6.V Lepob / ob mice: (a) an adipocyte - enriched population, (b) a stromal vascular
macrophage F4 / 80 + population, and (c) an F4 / 80 — stromal vascular population.

Evidence suggests that the resolution of infection and thus inflammation is prolonged due to reduced clearance of apoptotic cells and debris by
macrophages.11 These age -
associated alterations in innate immunity may contribute to increased systemic inflammation termed «inflamm - ageing» observed in aged tissues.10
Hematopoietic malignancies were diagnosed using the following markers: for B - and T - lymphocyte detection, rat antimouse CD45R / B220 mAb (Southern Biotechnology
Associates, Birmingham, AL; dilution 1:100); for T - lymphocyte detection, rabbit antihuman CD3 polyclonal antibody (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark; 1:100); and for monocyte /
macrophage detection, rat antimouse F4 / 80 mAb (BMA Biomedicals AG, Augst, Switzerland; 1:20) and rat antimouse CD11b mAb (Chemicon International, Temecula, CA; 1:20).
Moreover, there are yet other cell types — such as visceral adipose tissue
macrophages and cytotoxic CD8 + T - cells — in which the age - related supernumerary accumulation of dysfunctional and apoptosis - resistant cells appears to play a highly deleterious role on tissue function, but where the cells are not «senescent» cells in the classical sense of p16Ink4a expression and the senescence -
associated secretory profile observed in senescent fibroblasts.
Brandon Hall et al (2017) p16 (Ink4a) and senescence -

macrophages and the innate immune system to elevated metabolic stress
associated with overnutrition in modern societies.
Importantly, the blebs only become bound to cells that are
