In vitro investigation of m2 macrophage differentiation and phagocytic capabilities (2025)
Thesis

Amyloid-related diseases are characterised by the accumulation of extracellular β-amyloid 42 (Aβ42) plaques on specific tissues. Macrophages, a key immune system component, exhibit high plasticity and can polarise across an M1 and M2 spectrum. M2 mac...
