Abstract

Monocytes are innate immune cells that are formed in the bone marrow before being released into the blood (1). They differentiate in the circulation with three major monocyte subsets identified in humans: classical, intermediate and non-classical (2). While the subsets show phenotypic and functional differences (3–5), there is also considerable heterogeneity within each subset (6). In addition, monocytes exhibit plasticity, responding to factors in their environment (7). These functional modifications highlight the ability of monocytes to play a unique role in homeostasis and disease, even before their migration and differentiation in the tissues
