Macrophages are present in all vertebrate tissues, from mid-gestation throughout
life, constituting a widely dispersed organ system. They promote homeostasis by
responding to internal and external changes within the body, not only as
phagocytes in defence against microbes and in clearance of dead and senescent
cells, but also through trophic, regulatory and repair functions. In this review,
we describe macrophage phenotypic heterogeneity in different tissue environments,
drawing particular attention to organ-specific functions.
