Macrophage network theory.

Information related to the external environment and stimuli could be transferred from local macrophages to other tissue macrophages. Authors hypothesized the existence of a network formed by tissue macrophages and termed this putative communication network a macrophage network. Based on this theory, lipopolysaccharide derived from Pantoea agglomerans can be applied to health care.
