Macrophages: The Destroyers

The video tutorial explores macrophages, key cells in the innate immune system. It covers their roles in phagocytosis, inflammation, and tissue repair, as well as their origins and plasticity. The tutorial explains the M1 and M2 macrophage subtypes and their polarization. It also details the phagocytosis process and discusses therapeutic strategies targeting macrophages, such as re-education and depletion, for disease treatment.

Discuss the evolutionary significance of macrophages as phagocytic cells.

How do macrophages adapt to different tissue microenvironments?

What are some therapeutic strategies involving macrophages in disease settings?
