Phagocytosis in the Brain: Homeostasis and Disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Microglia are resident macrophages of the central nervous system and significantly contribute to overall brain function by participating in phagocytosis during development, homeostasis, and diseased states.

Regulators of phagocytosis as pharmacologic targets for stroke treatment
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 Stroke, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, causes massive cell death in the brain, which is followed by secondary inflammatory injury initiated by disease-associated molecular patterns released from dead cells. Phagocytosis, a cellular process of

A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify phagocytosis modulators in monocytic THP-1 cells
Scientific Reports, 2021 Phagocytosis of microbial pathogens, dying or dead cells, and cell debris is essential to maintain tissue homeostasis. Impairment of these processes is associated with autoimmunity, developmental defects and toxic protein accumulation.

Impaired clearance of early apoptotic cells mediated by inhibitory IgG antibodies in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 OBJECTIVES: Deficient efferocytosis (i.e. phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells) has been frequently reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
