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.

Phagocytosis requires receptor-mediated recognition of particles, usually in the guise of infectious agents and apoptotic cells. Phagosomes fuse with lysosomes to generate phagolysosomes, which play a key role in enzymatic digestion of the internalized contents into component parts.

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
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
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 ...

Studying Membrane Biogenesis with a Luciferase-Based Reporter Gene Assay [PDF]
To study the coordination of different lipid synthesis pathways during membrane biogenesis it is useful to work with an experimental system where membrane biogenesis occurs rapidly and in an inducible manner.

Extracellular Matrix Protein Tenascin C Increases Phagocytosis Mediated by CD47 Loss of Function in Glioblastoma. [PDF]
Glioblastomas (GBM) are highly infiltrated by myeloid-derived innate immune cells that contribute to the immunosuppressive nature of the brain tumor microenvironment (TME).

Target shape dependence in a simple model of receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis [PDF]
Phagocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis are vitally important particle uptake mechanisms in many cell types, ranging from single-cell organisms to immune cells.
