Abstract Peritoneal macrophages (PMs) are the major cell type of peritoneal cells that participate in multiple aspects of
innate and acquired immunity in the peritoneal cavity. PMs have an ability to release a large amount of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and therefore play a critical role in regulating the differentiation
of innate immune cells and inflammatory T cells. Accumulating studies demonstrate that the immunological reactions and inflammatory responses of PMs are strongly related to the pathogenic processes of various
inflammatory diseases and abdominal cancers. Consequently, the regulation of PM activation has gradually
emerged as a promising More >
