THP-1 Macrophages Limit Neutrophil Transendothelial Migration in a Model Infection.

Introduction: Dysregulated neutrophil function plays a significant role in the pathology of infections, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders. Neutrophil activity is influenced by various cell populations, including macrophages, which are crucial regulators. However, the exact role of human macrophages in controlling neutrophil function remains unclear due to a scarcity of studies utilizing human cells in physiologically relevant models.
