Macrophages (M<sub>Φ</sub>) are highly heterogenous and versatile innate immune cells involved in homeostatic and immune responses. Activated M<sub>Φ</sub> can exist in two extreme phenotypes: pro-inflammatory (M1) M<sub>Φ</sub> and anti-inflammatory (M2) M<sub>Φ</sub>. These phenotypes can be recapitulated in vitro by using ligands of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytokines such as IFNγ and IL-4. In recent years, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived M<sub>Φ</sub> have gained maj ...[more]
