A type of magnetically responsive artificial cells (ACs) has been developed, demonstrating the loading of mitochondria and self‐enclosure processes to ensure the protection of mitochondrial transport via the bloodstream. The treatment with ACs effectively transplanted mitochondria around the lesion, thereby improving neurological recovery by supporting

Phagocytosis imprints heterogeneity in tissue-resident macrophages
Tissue-resident macrophages display varying phenotypic and functional properties that are largely specified by their local environment. One of these functions, phagocytosis, mediates the natural disposal of billions of cells, but its mechanisms and ...

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Microglial Phagocytosis and Its Regulation: A Therapeutic Target in Parkinson’s Disease?
The role of phagocytosis in the neuroprotective function of microglia has been appreciated for a long time, but only more recently a dysregulation of this process has been recognized in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Achieving Optimal Health With Host‐Directed Therapies (HDTs) in Infectious Diseases—A New Horizon
Host‐directed therapies (HDTs) represent a transformative approach in infectious disease management by targeting host factors to enhance immune responses and inhibit viral replication. This innovative strategy leverages advanced genomics and gene editing technologies, offering promising avenues for improved patient outcomes and a new horizon in ...

Membrane-cytoskeletal crosstalk mediated by myosin-I regulates adhesion turnover during phagocytosis
Phagocytosis of invading pathogens or cellular debris requires a dramatic change in cell shape driven by actin polymerization. For antibody-covered targets, phagocytosis is thought to proceed through the sequential engagement of Fc-receptors on the ...

Bee Better: The Role of Honey in Modern Wound Care
The use of honey as a wound care agent is controversial but paradoxically increasingly popular. Honey possesses relevant antimicrobial properties and can modulate the immune system. The wound healing properties of honey likely depend on its composition and varies across wound types.

Phagocytosis-like cell engulfment by a planctomycete bacterium
Phagocytosis is a key eukaryotic feature, conserved from unicellular protists to animals, that enabled eukaryotes to feed on other organisms. It could also be a driving force behind endosymbiosis, a process by which α-proteobacteria and cyanobacteria ...
