Virtually all human organs and tissues have specialized, sentinel cells (macrophages) that are dedicated to protecting the body from infection, damage, or toxins. These cells are part of the innate immune system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While the innate immune system protects us from infection, orchestrates wound healing, and eliminates cancer,\u00a0even in the absence of obvious infection or injury, macrophages maintain homeostasis and support tissue metabolism. They do so by turning over and rejuvenating components of tissues by specialized types of endocytosis, preventing the accumulation of damage. This requires an enormous capacity for these cells to handle the internalized cargoes\/solutes from their microenvironment. Defects in these pathways contribute to a wide-segment of congenital and acquired diseases including storage disorders, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n<p>We are working to understand cellular and subcellular mechanisms underlying the everyday surveillance functions of macrophages.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1600893972316{margin-top: 0% !important;margin-bottom: 0% !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;265&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1600893941189{margin-top: 0% !important;margin-bottom: 0% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><em>We are interested in two overlooked aspects to immune surveillance by macrophages: <\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column parallax=&#8221;content-moving-fade&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;446&#8243; parallax_speed_bg=&#8221;3&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601394019532{margin-top: 7.5% !important;margin-bottom: 7.5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1600887157543{margin-top: 0% !important;margin-bottom: 1% !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, the consumption and catabolism performed by macrophages is remarkable; they take up their own body weight in just a matter of hours. An essential part of the whole process is that these large volumes must be resolved in order for the cells to maintain their responsiveness.
