    CCR2 and CX3CR1 are key chemokine receptors that regulate inflammatory monocyte recruitment and tissue macrophage retention.

  • 2

    These receptors function as dynamic regulators of myeloid cell states, influencing inflammation outcomes rather than fixed immune cell markers.

  • 3

    The recruitment-to-residency axis describes the transition of myeloid cells from inflammatory recruitment to tissue adaptation.

  • 4

    Dysregulated CCR2-CX3CR1 dynamics contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases like periodontitis, leading to tissue destruction.

  • 5

    Understanding the interplay between CX3CR1 and CCR2 can inform precision immunomodulatory strategies for oral and systemic health.
