Renal macrophages (RMs) can be of bone marrow or embryonic origin, but their abundance, fate and metabolic profiles in physiological and pathogenic settings are still unclear. Here the authors show, by characterizing these two RMs in multiple transgenic mouse lines, that they exhibit distinct dynamics, homeostasis, immune activity, and metabolic properties.
