Stimulus-Response signaling dynamics characterize macrophage polarization states

Apeksha Singh, Supriya Sen, Michael Iter, Adewunmi Adelaja, Stefanie Luecke, Xiaolu Guo, Alexander Hoffmann

This study characterizes macrophage polarization states by analyzing NFκB signaling dynamics in response to different stimuli, revealing a multi-dimensional polarization landscape rather than a simple M1/M2 dichotomy.
