Deciphering macrophage ontogeny in health and disease
We have recently identified a novel macrophage progenitor within the adult bone marrow distinct from the monocytic lineage. This progenitor (referred to as Erythromyeloid Progenitor (EMPROR)) gives rise to both erythroid and myeloid lineages during inflammation including perivascular macrophages within tumors. Additionally, a similar progenitor population was identified during embryonic development independent of the classical EMPs.
