Abstract

In this issue of Cell, Uderhardt et al. employed intravital two-photon microscopy to examine tissue-resident macrophage responses to sterile cellular injuries of variable size. They observed that while multi-cell “macrolesions” are characteristically pro-inflammatory, resident macrophages can “cloak” single-cell microlesions to prevent excessive neutrophil recruitment and limit subsequent tissue damage.
