Tumour Cell Derived Effects on monocyte/macrophage Polarization and Function and Modulatory Potential of Viscum Album Lipophilic Extract in Vitro

This in vitro study examined the effects of Viscum album (mistletoe) lipophilic extract on the polarization and function of monocytes/macrophages derived from tumor cells. The research found that mistletoe extract significantly modulated immune cell functions, potentially enhancing the immune system’s ability to target and destroy cancer cells. While the study’s

Glutamine Metabolism Supports the Functional Activity of Immune Cells against Aspergillus fumigatus

The 2023 study titled “Glutamine Metabolism Supports the Functional Activity of Immune Cells against Aspergillus fumigatus” (PMID: 36475892) explored how glutamine metabolism impacts macrophage responses to fungal infection. Using in vitro human macrophage models and in vivo murine models, the study demonstrated that glutaminase activity is crucial for effective phagocytosis
