The many faces of macrophage activation

Mosser, David M·2003·Journal of Leukocyte Biology

Abstract

Journal of Leukocyte Biology considers manuscripts of original investigations focusing on the origins, developmental biology, biochemistry and functions of granulocytes, lymphocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, and other cells involved in host defense. These include full-length papers on original research, rapid communications of new discoveries, letters, commentaries, and invited reviews.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Classical macrophage activation occurs after induction by IFN-γ and exposure to microbial products such as LPS.

    “Classical macrophage activation occurs after induction by IFN-γ and exposure to microbial products such as LPS.[122]”

    From Foreign body reaction to biomaterials (2008) · cites this paper as [122]

  • In early wound repair, infiltrating monocytes and resident macrophages acquire a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype.

    “In the early phase of wound repair, upon exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFNs, microbial products or DAMPs, infiltrating monocytes and resident macrophages are activated and mainly acquire a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype (Fig. 2) [57].”
  • The M1 phenotype emerges from macrophage interaction with pro-inflammatory signals such as IFN-g and LPS.

    “The 'classically activated' or M1 phenotype emerges as a result of macrophage interaction with pro-inflammatory signals such as Interferon-g (IFN-g) and microbial products such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [17].”
  • Macrophages are a heterogeneous cell population with different markers and functions.

    “Macrophages, like the monocytes from which they derive, are a heterogeneous cell population each with different markers and functions [1,8–12].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
