Annotation rationales
Monocytes are circulating myeloid cells that include classical inflammatory and non-classical patrolling compartments.
Functional implications
They sense infection and injury, enter tissues, produce inflammatory mediators and can differentiate into macrophage- or dendritic-like effector cells.
