Key papers were published in 2019 that solidify the notion that macrophage gene
expression is remarkably diverse; single-cell sequencing combined with new macrophage-
specific genetic tools has provided unexpected insights into the tissue-specific and
inflammatory diversity of macrophages. In addition, a new mechanism of inflammatory
control of macrophage diversity based on lactate-mediated histone modifications was
discovered.
