The role of osteopontin in inflammatory processes
TL;DR: Besides its function in inflammation, OPN is also a regulator of biomineralization and a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteopontin mediates macrophage chemotaxis via α4 and α9 integrins and survival via the α4 integrin.

TL;DR: The role of OPN in macrophage survival, chemotaxis, and activation state is determined and data indicate that α4 and α9 integrins interacting with OPN via the SLAYGLR domain play a key role inmacrophage biology by regulating migration, survival, and accumulation.

Macrophages: The Bad, the Ugly, and the Good in the Inflammatory Response to Biomaterials
TL;DR: The current understanding of the developmental origin of macrophages, their functions in physiological processes, and dysfunction in response to the foreignBody will be presented and discussed, as well as approaches to guide them toward resolution of the foreign body-elicited inflammatory response.
