Zusammenfassung
Monozyten sind als zirkulierende Vorläufer von Makrophagen und dendritischen Zellen kritische Determinanten einer Entzündungsreaktion und mit zahlreichen entzündlichen Erkrankungen assoziiert. Die Entdeckung humaner und muriner Monozyten-Subpopulationen hat neue Erkenntnisse über die Migration, Differenzierung und funktionelle Rolle dieser Subtypen in Entzündungsprozessen erbracht. Hieraus sind neue spezifische Ansatzpunkte für zukünftige Therapien zu erwarten.
Summary
Monocytes are circulating precursors of macrophages and dendritic cells. They play critical roles in the inflammatory response and are associated with manifold inflammatory disorders. The discovery of human and murine monocyte subpopulations has revealed new insights into the migration, differentiation and functional role of these cells in the pathogenesis of inflammation. These findings are expected to identify novel targets for future therapeutic strategies.
