Regulations of gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells required for preventing the onset of autoimmune diseases.

abstract：:Monocytes that migrate into tissues during inflammatory episodes and differentiate to macrophages were previously classified as classically (M1) or alternatively (M2) activated macrophages, based on their exposure to different fate-determining mediators. These macrophage subsets display distinct molecular markers and ...
