The term phagocytosis (derived from phagos, which means eating, and cyte, which means cell) describes the process by which a cell recognizes, engulfs and digests a target that is ≥1 μm in size 21,61, ...

Phagocytic immune cells such as macrophages play an important role in the phagocytosis of dying or diseased cells. Efferocytosis is a process involving the removal of apoptotic or dead cells by ...

Far from a static barrier, the brain’s extensive interface with the blood is increasingly being appreciated as an active border, one that serves not only to keep some proteins out, but to let others ...

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 useful ...

IBEC’s Principal Investigator César Rodriguez-Emmenegger has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to develop Phagocytic Synthetic Cells (PSCs) to fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens. César ...

LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a specialized process for degrading dead cells, microbes or other particles. It plays a role in innate immunity, inflammation regulation and anticancer responses.

New collaboration builds on Sanofi’s prior acquisition of DR-0201 and further leverages Dren Bio’s proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocyt ...
