Macrophages protect us, but when things go wrong, they can also make diseases worse.

In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, macrophages help clear toxic protein aggregates. But when that clearance becomes impaired, they shift toward neuroinflammation, accelerating tissue damage.

In metabolic disorders like obesity and NAFLD, adipose tissue drives macrophages toward an M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. This results in the release of inflammatory cytokines that promote insulin resistance and systemic inflammation.
And that’s not everything. Macrophages can promote chronic inflammation, influencing cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune diseases.

How do you build reproducible assays using human preadipocytes?

Variability in preadipocyte assays can be reduced by selecting an appropriate cell model, optimizing expansion and differentiation conditions, and defining clear endpoints. Standardizing each of these steps helps you ensure your metabolic data are more reproducible and interpretable.

Watch the video on the key steps in reducing variability, and explore the full framework in our latest blog post: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0xlg0C0

How do inflammasomes get activated in different immune cells? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of inflammatory responses is essential for developing targeted therapies for immune-related diseases.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Tübingen, the University of Bonn, and collaborators engineered a variant of the NLRP3 inflammasome that forms smaller monomeric/dimeric assemblies instead of its typical decameric cage. Using THP-1 macrophage-like cells, they found that these smaller NLRP3 species can still form fully functional inflammasomes. In primary human macrophages and neutrophils from the same donors, the researchers found two parallel NLRP3 activation pathways (microtubule-dependent and microtubule-independent pathways), with microtubule-independent NLRP3 activation dominating in neutrophils.

Macrophage-based studies are often constrained by challenges in harvesting strongly adherent cells. These cells are highly sensitive to improper dissociation procedures, which can reduce cell viability and alter cell surface proteins, potentially compromising downstream experiments. Using our gentle, enzyme-free Macrophage Detachment Solution, the researchers were able to harvest viable, functional macrophages for downstream analysis.

Studies using functional primary macrophages underscore how working with viable, unaltered primary immune cells can reveal physiologically relevant mechanisms. They also open new angles for targeting inflammasome-driven diseases.
