Alveolar macrophages in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and infection: evolving concepts of therapeutic targeting
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the sentinel cells of the alveolar space, maintaining homeostasis, fending off pathogens, and controlling lung inflammation. During acute lung injury, AMs orchestrate the initiation and resolution of inflammation in order to ultimately restore homeostasis. This central...
