Scientific Reports, 2021 Following bacterial infection, macrophages produce pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to bacterial cell components, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipopeptide, and simultaneously phagocytize and digest the invading bacteria.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003 Microglia and macrophages express the αM/β2 integrin complement-receptor-3 (CR3/MAC-1; CD11b/CD18) and scavenger-receptor-AI/II (SRAI/II). Both can mediate myelin phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis in Teleosts. Implications of the New Cells Involved
Biology, 2015 Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf some solid particles to form internal vesicles known as phagosomes. Phagocytosis is in fact a specific form of endocytosis involving the vesicular interiorization of particles. Phagocytosis is essentially

SIRT1-induced deacetylation of Akt expedites platelet phagocytosis and delays HEMEC aging
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021 Maintaining the health of the endothelium is of critical importance to prevention against cell aging. The current study was performed to clarify the role of sirtuin1 (SIRT1) in platelet phagocytosis in cell aging and identified its downstream molecular ...

Identification of Drosophila gene products required for phagocytosis of Candida albicans.
PLoS Biology, 2006 Phagocytosis is a highly conserved aspect of innate immunity. We used Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells as a model system to study the phagocytosis of Candida albicans, the major fungal pathogen of humans, by screening an RNAi library representing 7,216 ...

The Entamoeba histolytica, Arp2/3 Complex Is Recruited to Phagocytic Cups through an Atypical Kinase EhAK1. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 The parasite Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of amoebiasis and phagocytosis plays a key role in virulence of this organism. Signaling pathways involved in activation of cytoskeletal dynamics required for phagocytosis remain to be ...

High-throughput quantification of early stages of phagocytosis
BioTechniques, 2013 Phagocytosis—the engulfment of cells and foreign bodies—is an important cellular process in innate immunity, development, and disease. Quantification of various stages of phagocytosis, especially in a rapid screening fashion, is an invaluable tool for ...
