Long-lived self-renewing bone marrow-derived macrophages displace embryo-derived cells to inhabit adult serous cavities

Understanding the heterogeneity of peritoneal macrophages is hampered by controversy over their origin and homeostasis. Here the authors show the embryonic F4/80hi population is replaced over time by self-renewing bone marrow-derived cells transitioning from F4/80lo to F4/80hi in adult mice, and tha...
