Resident tissue macrophages (RTMs) have a broad spectrum of immune- and non-immune-related tissue-supporting activities. Ginhoux and colleagues propose a conceptual framework for considering the RTM heterogeneity that organizes the factors shaping RTM identity within four cardinal points: ontogeny, the niche of residence, inflammation status, and the cumulative effect of time spent in a specific tissue.
