Macrophages are the central cellular players in the repair processM1 macrophages clear microbes and necrotic tissue and promote inflammation in a positive feedback loop, and M2 macrophages produce growth factors that stimulate the proliferation of many cell types in the next stage of repair. As the injurious agents and necrotic cells are cleared, the inflammation resolves. Macrophages are critical for orchestrating the repair process, by eliminating offending agents and producing cytokines and growth factors that stimulate the proliferation of the cell types involved in repair.Robins Textbook of pathology 10th ed Page 89
