Question
How do monocytes modify into macrophages?
✓
Answer
Monocytes upon having inflammation, selectively travel to the sites of inflammation. Here they produce inflammatory cytokines and contribute to local and systemic inflammation. They are highly infiltrative. They differentiate into inflammatory macrophages, which then remove PAMPs or pathogen-associated molecular patterns and cell debris.
