Arginine is a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid that can be produced within the body, but some conditions can render them essential, when they must be procured through the diet.

The polarization response of macrophages seeded on titanium materials is influenced by multiple factors, and artificial intelligence can assist in extracting the key features of implant materials ...

Chinese scientists have revealed a hidden metabolic partnership between breast cancer cells and immune cells that drives aggressive tumor behavior and resistance to immunotherapies. The study sheds ...

This study unveiled the role of Lrrk2 gene in regulating macrophage polarization and immune response. This finding provides significant insights into the role of Lrrk2 in M1 macrophage modulation ...
