Front Immunol
. 2025 Mar;
16:1550500.
PMID: 40028333
Macrophages, crucial innate immune cells, defend against pathogens and resolve inflammation, maintaining tissue balance. They perform phagocytosis, present antigens to T cells, and bond innate and adaptive immunity through various...

Biomolecules
. 2024 Jun;
14(6).
PMID: 38927110
This work describes a novel route for phospholipid fatty acid remodeling involving the monounsaturated fatty acid palmitoleic acid. When administered to human monocytes, palmitoleic acid rapidly incorporates into membrane phospholipids,...

Biomolecules
. 2023 Nov;
13(11).
PMID: 38002317
In this work, the incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages and its redistribution within the various phospholipid classes were investigated. Choline glycerophospholipids (PC) behaved as the...

EMBO Rep
. 2023 Nov;
24(12):e57238.
PMID: 37929625
Interferons (IFN) are crucial antiviral and immunomodulatory cytokines that exert their function through the regulation of a myriad of genes, many of which are not yet characterized. Here, we reveal...
