Cell barrier function of resident peritoneal macrophages in post-operative adhesions
Peritoneal adhesions are a major cause of complications after abdominal surgery. Here the authors use a post-operative abdominal adhesion model in mice to show that resident F4/80HighCD206− macrophages form a protective barrier that can be enhanced by IL-4 administration or adoptive transfer of thes...
