Epigenetic Control of Macrophage Polarisation and Soluble Mediator Gene Expression during Inflammation

Macrophages function as sentinel cells, which constantly monitor the host environment for infection or injury. Macrophages have been shown to exhibit a spectrum of activated phenotypes, which can often be categorised under the M1/M2 paradigm. M1 macrophages secrete proinflammatory cytokines and chem...
