Examine how macrophages integrate complex microenvironmental cues to alter their activation states across space and time.
Reviewed cellular mechanisms governing macrophage activation and environmental sensing.
Macrophage polarization represents a fluid rather than fixed state driven by continuous microenvironmental feedback.
Macrophages exhibit significant functional plasticity, enabling them to integrate signals from microbes, injured tissues, and neighboring cells simultaneously.

SC Landis (1983) studied this question.
