OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Monocytes are innate immune cells with diverse functions in host defense against infection and tumors, as well as tissue homeostasis, repair and regeneration. They perform surveillance roles throughout the body and can be rapidly recruited to infected or injured tissues. Recent studies have revealed that monocytes are more heterogeneous than previously appreciated and we have shown that this is in part a reflection of their origins. I will present evidence that functionally distinct monocyte subsets arise via independent pathways in the bone marrow, and discuss how infection, inflammation, cancer and aging may impact monocyte production and functional programming.
