Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer ...

TEM and qPCR analyses showed that both Gpnmb- and phosphoSTAT3 inhibitor-treated BMDMs develop a senescent phenotype during phagocytosis, suggesting that cargo digestion-dependent phosphorylation of ...

When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in ...

Study: Opsonization by non-neutralizing antibodies can confer protection to SARS-CoV-2 despite Spike-dependent modulation of phagocytosis. Image Credit: StudioMoleKuul / Shutterstock.com. This ...

A synthetic colloidal system has been developed that mimics the biological process of phagocytosis — the ingestion of foreign material by certain cell types. As Stephen Mann and colleagues ...

Researchers have created a computational model capable of predicting whether or not organisms have the ability to 'eat' other cells through a process known as phagocytosis. The model may be a ...

Phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis where a cell modifies its plasma membrane to engulf and internalize external matter, ... Scaling 3D biology: Automation, imaging, ...

Phagocytosis is mediated by two-dimensional assemblies of the F-BAR protein GAS7. Nature Communications , 2019; 10 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12738-w Cite This Page : ...

Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium ...

University of California-Santa Barbara scientists say they've made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. The research has far-reaching implications for ...
