Zusammenfassung
Monozyten sind als zirkulierende Vorläufer von Makrophagen
und dendritischen Zellen kritische Determinanten einer Entzündungsreaktion
und mit zahlreichen entzündlichen Erkrankungen assoziiert.
Die Entdeckung humaner und muriner Monozyten-Subpopulationen hat
neue Erkenntnisse über die Migration, Differenzierung und funktionelle
Rolle dieser Subtypen in Entzündungsprozessen erbracht.
Hieraus sind neue spezifische Ansatzpunkte für zukünftige
Therapien zu erwarten.
Summary
Monocytes are circulating precursors of macrophages and dendritic
cells. They play critical roles in the inflammatory response and
are associated with manifold inflammatory disorders. The discovery
of human and murine monocyte subpopulations has revealed new insights
into the migration, differentiation and functional role of these
cells in the pathogenesis of inflammation. These findings are expected
to identify novel targets for future therapeutic strategies.
