Abstract Macrophages are versatile immune cells with remarkable plasticity, enabling them to adapt diverse tissue microenvironments and perform various functions. Traditionally categorized into classically activated (M1) alternatively (M2) phenotypes, recent advances have revealed a spectrum of macrophage activation states that extend beyond this dichotomy. The complex interplay signaling pathways, transcriptional regulators, epigenetic modifications orchestrates polarization, allowing respond stimuli dynamically. Here, we provide comprehensive overview the cascades governing focusing on roles Toll‐like receptors, signal transducer activator transcription proteins, nuclear microRNAs. We also discuss emerging concepts metabolic reprogramming trained immunity, contributing their functional adaptability. Macrophage plasticity plays pivotal role in repair regeneration, macrophages coordinating inflammation, angiogenesis, matrix remodeling restore homeostasis. By harnessing potential novel therapeutic strategies targeting polarization could be developed for diseases, including chronic wounds, fibrotic disorders, inflammatory conditions. Ultimately, deeper understanding molecular mechanisms underpinning will pave way innovative regenerative medicine engineering approaches.

Evolutionarily, immune response is a complex mechanism that protects the host from internal and external threats. Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize MAMPs, PAMPs, DAMPs to initiate protective pro-inflammatory response. PRRs are expressed on cell membranes by TLR1, 2, 4, 6 in cytosolic organelles TLR3, 7, 8, 9, NLRs, ALRs, cGLRs. We know their downstream signaling pathways controlling immunoregulatory However, impact of metabolic control cells pro- anti-inflammatory activity has not been discussed extensively.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common yet serious complication in individuals with diabetes, often presenting as chronic, nonhealing wounds that significantly impair quality of life. The healing process DFUs is largely influenced by the local microenvironment, which encompasses factors such hypoxia, inflammation, and involvement various cell types. Poor blood circulation affected area results compromising cellular function restricting nutrient supply, thereby delaying wound healing. In addition, chronic inflammation disrupts immune system balance, excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines not only failing to facilitate tissue repair but also exacerbating damage. Moreover, key types, including fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, play crucial roles at different stages process, contributing collagen production skin regeneration. A comprehensive understanding complex dynamics within DFU microenvironment essential for developing more precise therapeutic approaches, advanced drug delivery systems bioactive materials, aimed promoting reducing risk recurrence.

Cancer cells are often described as voracious consumers of nutrients, with glucose frequently cited a key energy source; however, their metabolic plasticity allows them to adapt and utilize various substrates, including lipids amino acids, sustain growth survival. However, the demands immune within tumor microenvironment (TME) less commonly discussed despite critical role in shaping response. In this review, we explored intricate interplay between immunometabolism innate immunity gastrointestinal cancers. We focused on how pathways, glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, metabolism, drive immunosuppressive functions myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs) tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), macrophages (TAMs) lymphocyte subsets such NK cells. These contribute hostile landscape, supporting evasion from surveillance phenomenon tumor-derived immunosuppression. Additionally, investigated influence dietary interventions reprogramming these cells, highlighting nutrition can modulate TME. Finally, emerging therapeutic strategies that target vulnerabilities MDSCs, TANs, monocytes, offering novel avenue for enhancing antitumor immunity. By dissecting mechanisms, aim provide insights into pathways be harnessed improve cancer treatment outcomes. This review underscores importance understanding not only driver suppression but also potential cancer.
