while birefringent crystalline particles within the alveolar macrophages on polarized light microscopy indicate exposure to crystalline silicates. Quantitative assessment of the proliferative ...

Consistent with lung surfactant build up in the children’s lungs and the monocyte migration impairment, the researchers found a decreased number of alveolar macrophages in their patients’ ...

In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating ...

Once in the lungs, these cells interact with immune cells like alveolar macrophages, releasing anti-inflammatory signals that help prevent tissue damage and support healing. This new route of ...
