Opposing roles for heat and heat shock proteins in macrophage functions during inflammation: A function of cell activation state?

Opposing roles for heat and heat shock proteins in macrophage functions during inflammation: A function of cell activation state?

Macrophages function both under normothermia and during periods of body temperature elevation (fever). Whether macrophages sense and respond to thermal signals in a manner which regulates their function in a specific manner is still not clear. In this brief review, we highlight recent studies which...
