Answer / Furkan Ahmad
U937 is a human histiocytic lymphoma cell line that can be differentiated into macrophage-like cells in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The differentiation process involves treating U937 cells with PMA, which activates protein kinase C and triggers a series of gene expression changes leading to the development of macrophage characteristics. Differentiated U937 cells exhibit morphological and functional features similar to primary macrophages, making them valuable for studying monocyte-macrophage biology.
