| Article Title: | Monocytes and infection: Modulator, messenger and effector |
| Abstract: | Monocytes are a subset of circulating blood cells with remarkable plasticity. They can develop into a wide range of terminally differentiated cells and perform versatile functions during infection, tumor formation and in the setting of chronic inflammation. This review focuses on the role of monocytes during microbial infection and summarizes our understanding of the diverse roles that monocytes play in defense against different pathogens.
