Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a population of innate immune lymphocytes capable of cytolysis of infected or transformed cells without prior sensitization. Natural killers are detected in various organs and tissues and may differ in phenotypic and functional characteristics depending on localization. For example, NK cells are the dominant popu...

Communication between natural killer cells (NK cells) and monocytes/macrophages may play an important role in immunomodulation and regulation of inflammatory processes. The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of NK cell-derived large extracellular vesicles on monocyte function because this field is understudied. We studied how NK-cel...

This review presents current data on the origin of monocytes/macrophages, the conditions necessary for the differentiation of monocytes into M1 or M2 macrophages. Three subpopulations of peripheral blood monocytes are described: (I) classical – the main subpopulation (85-90%), effectively carrying out phagocytosis; (II) intermediate monocytes (5-10...

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are currently considered potential biomarkers of diseases, as well as “biological constructs” for targeted drug delivery. Extracellular vesicles represent a heterogeneous population of membrane vesicles formed by various cell populations, including immune cells. At present time, EV are divided into exosomes, microvesicle...

The interaction of natural killer (NK) and trophoblast cells underlies the formation of immune tolerance in the mother–fetus system and the maintenance of the physiological course of pregnancy. In addition, NK cells affect the function of trophoblast cells, interacting with them via the receptor apparatus and through the production of cytokines. Mi...

Angiogenesis is the development of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. It is a complex multifaceted process that is essential for the adequate functioning of human organisms. The investigation of angiogenesis is conducted using various methods. One of the most popular and most serviceable of these methods in vitro is the short-term culture of...
