“…In macrophages, the REs form a vast, interconnected network of vesicular and tubular elements that are collectively distributed from the perinuclear region to the subplasma membrane zone (Lacy & Stow, 2011;Manderson, Kay, Hammond, Brown, & Stow, 2007). This highly dynamic organellar system is crucial for the immune surveillance roles of macrophages, which include the ingestion and sampling of fluid, particulate matter and pathogens, the destruction of pathogens and cell debris, and the secretion of critical mediators like chemokines and cytokines (Epelman, Lavine, & Randolph, 2014).…”
