Lipid body-phagosome interaction in macrophages during infectious diseases: host defense or pathogen survival strategy? [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Phagocytosis of invading microorganisms by specialized cells such as macrophages and neutrophils is a key component of the innate immune response. These cells capture and engulf pathogens and subsequently destroy them in intracellular vacuoles-the ...

Cx43-mediated hyphal folding counteracts phagosome integrity loss during fungal infection
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Phagolysosomes are crucial organelles during the elimination of pathogens by host cells. The maintenance of their membrane integrity is vital during stressful conditions, such as during Candida albicans infection.
