Helena; Ribeiro, RicardoExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane vesicles released by all cells and involved in intercellular communication. Importantly, EVs cargo includes nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins constantly transferred between different cell types, contributing to autocrine and paracrine signaling. In recent years, they have been shown to play vital roles, not only in normal biological functions, but also in pathol...
The Two Faces of Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Their Clinical Significance i...
Pinto, Marta L.; Rios, Elisabete; Durães, Cecília; Ribeiro, Ricardo; Machado, José C.; Mantovani, Alberto; Barbosa, Mario A.; Carneiro, FátimaMacrophages are one of the immune populations frequently found in colorectal tumors and high macrophage infiltration has been associated with both better and worst prognosis. Importantly, according to microenvironment stimuli, macrophages may adopt different polarization profiles, specifically the pro-inflammatory or M1 and the anti-inflammatory or M2, which display distinct functions. Therefore, concomitantly ...
