Macrophages in immunobiology

D S Nelson

    La Ricerca in Clinica E in Laboratorio
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Macrophages play key roles in fighting infection, regulating immunity, and resisting tumors. Further research is needed to understand how they destroy intracellular pathogens, recognize tumor cells, and their diverse cellular characteristics.
