Video Summary

In this talk, Wendy Walker, an assistant professor at Texas Tech University, discusses the changes in peritoneal macrophage composition and function during sepsis. She explains that tissue resident macrophages play a crucial role in cleaning up dead cells and responding to infection or tissue damage. She explores the different populations of macrophages within the peritoneal cavity and how they change during inflammation. Through her research, she suggests that the infiltration of monocytes, particularly immature CD31-positive monocytes, may play a role in sepsis survival. Further studies are needed to understand the phenotype of these cells and their potential therapeutic implications.
