Homegrown Macrophages

Immunity. 2016 Sep 20;45(3):468-470. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2016.09.006.

Abstract

Macrophages residing in different organs have diverse gene-expression programs. Mass et al. (2016) propose that this diversity develops "at home"-within those organs-after the recruitment of a common precursor that had not made prior commitments to diversity.
