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

During phagocytosis, particles are internalized into ‘phagosomes’, organelles from which immune processes such as microbial destruction and antigen presentation are initiated3.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 : ...

As the cell biology might predict, the TREM2 mutation carrier had no detectable sTREM2 in his CSF or plasma. However, the AD and FTD patients had lower CSF sTREM2 levels than controls, as well. These ...

In the present study another aspect of metabolism during phagocytosis was examined — namely, the synthesis of cellular lecithin from 32 P-labeled lysolecithin complexed to albumin in the medium.
