MLR may be a useful marker for assessing activity and progression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with CLL had significantly lower MLR values compared to healthy individuals, with ...

Despite the use of modern immunochemotherapy regimens, almost 50% of patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma will relapse. Current prognostic models, including the International Prognostic Index, ...

A new report builds on previous research that could help scientists better understand type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. Altered levels and activity of monocytes appear to correlate with the progression of ...

When the immune system mobilizes its troops, antigen-presenting cells play an important role. They can emerge from white blood cells (monocytes) that circulate in the blood. Scientists have now taken ...

It is important to note that certain macrophages do not develop from monocytes, instead being derived from embryonic progenitors, for example Kupffer cells in the liver, and are often described as ...

Monocytes, a special type of white blood cell, secrete cytokines as inflammatory messengers that are crucial for an appropriate immune response. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and ...

University of Manchester immunologists are the first to make an interesting observation about the white blood cells of patients with COVID-19. A particular subset of these cells, called monocytes, ...

Brain macrophages serve diversified niches in the brain to maintain the organ’s homeostasis, and can play pathogenic roles in age-related brain disease. Hoping to one day replace dysfunctional ...
