Scientists discover the genetic switch that keeps your organs healthy
University of Liège researchers identify MafB as a conserved transcriptional regulator that drives precursor cells to mature into macrophages across tissues and species; MafB loss arrests macrophage development and impairs tissue maintenance and repair.
Why it mattersUniversity of Liège linked MafB to macrophage maturation; targeting MafB could create new regenerative or immunomodulatory therapies.
