Abstract

Macrophages and their roles and interactions have been greatly studied over the past 30 years. Their classification into M1 and M2 and the M2 subtypes makes their study approachable because each of classification or subtype has its own function. More importantly, macrophages polarize into each of these roles by direct stimuli that are independent of other immune cells, making them vital in organizing innate immunity as well as the coordinated response for recovery after injury
