Article Synopsis
- Macrophages can change into different types (M1 or M2) based on their environmental signals, and this polarization affects their role in diseases like cancer and atherosclerosis.
- Researchers created a specialized cell line (RAW:-eGFP) that uses a green fluorescent marker to track these macrophage changes, focusing on their shifts to pro-inflammatory states.
- In studies with breast cancer cell lines, they found that the conditioned media and co-culture environments influenced the macrophages' fluorescence signals, indicating changes in their polarization and activity levels in response to the cancer cells.
