Description
Vessel-associated macrophages (VAMs) are a specialized subset of macrophages found in close proximity to blood vessels and lymphatic vessels within various tissues and organs throughout the body. Their distinctive localization allows them to interact with endothelial cells, pericytes, and other components of the vascular wall, contributing to vascular homeostasis, immune surveillance, and tissue integrity.
Applications
Numerous types of experimental manipulations, including morphological, gene expression, and physiological studies.
