Naive T lymphocytes chemotax to CCL21 but not to S1P-rich serum

This study shows naive T lymphocytes chemotax to CCL21 but not to S1P-rich serum, using in vitro assays to quantify migration responses.

Slow integrin-dependent migration organizes networks of tissue-resident mast cells

This study shows that mast cells use slow integrin-dependent migration to form tissue networks, differing from other leukocytes that use fast adhesion-free movement.

CSF1R-dependent macrophages in the salivary gland are essential for epithelial regeneration following radiation-induced injury

This study identifies CSF1R-dependent macrophages as critical for epithelial regeneration after radiation-induced salivary gland injury.

Functionally distinct resident macrophage subsets differentially shape responses to infection in the bladder

The paper identifies two distinct bladder macrophage subsets, shows their differential responses to infection, and demonstrates their impact on immune outcomes.

Origin and microenvironment contribute to the sexually dimorphic phenotype and function of peritoneal macrophages.

This study shows that sex and age influence peritoneal macrophage behavior through bone marrow replenishment and microenvironment signals, affecting disease resistance.
