Abstract
Tissue regeneration is orchestrated by macrophages that clear damaged cells and promote regenerative inflammation. How macrophages spatially adapt and diversify their functions to support the architectural requirements of actively regenerating tissue remains unknown. In this study, we reconstructed the dynamic trajectories of myeloid cells isolated from acutely injured and early stage dystrophic muscles. We identified divergent subsets of monocytes/macrophages and DCs and validated markers (e.g., glycoprotein NMB [GPNMB]) and transcriptional regulators associated with defined functional states. In dystrophic muscle, specialized repair-associated subsets exhibited distinct macrophage diversity and reduced DC heterogeneity. Integrating spatial transcriptomics analyses with immunofluorescence uncovered the ordered distribution of subpopulations and multilayered regenerative inflammation zones (RIZs) where distinct macrophage subsets are organized in functional zones around damaged myofibers supporting all phases of regeneration. Importantly, intermittent glucocorticoid treatment disrupted the RIZs. Our findings suggest that macrophage subtypes mediated the development of the highly ordered architecture of regenerative tissues, unveiling the principles of the structured yet dynamic nature of regenerative inflammation supporting effective tissue repair.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
