Although these cells can arise from either embryonic precursors or circulating monocytes, their ultimate identity reflects an interplay between developmentally encoded transcriptional programs and tissue-derived extrinsic cues. Using selected tissue-resident macrophage subsets as examples, we highlight how environmental signals activate specialized transcriptional modules layered upon a conserved ontogenetic framework to generate the remarkable diversity of macrophage states. We further summarize tissue-specific roles of macrophages and briefly consider how these context-dependent programs influence cancer biology.<\/p>\n<p>PMID:<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/42172573\/?utm_source=SimplePie&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=8405628&amp;ff=20260522200041&amp;v=2.20.0\">42172573<\/a> | DOI:<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jleuko\/qiag046\">10.1093\/jleuko\/qiag046<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J Leukoc Biol. 2026 May 13;118(5):qiag046. doi: 10.1093\/jleuko\/qiag046.
