Deficiencies in phagocytosis may contribute to the increased susceptibility of infants to early life infections. Data on phagocytosis of the major neonatal pathogens Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE), ...

Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are biological processes wherein a cell senses and engulfs nearby material. These processes enable cells to intake substances that can’t easily pass through the cell ...

IBEC’s Principal Investigator César Rodriguez-Emmenegger has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to develop Phagocytic Synthetic Cells (PSCs) to fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens. César ...

T Cells Gain Phagocytic Function via Specific Antigen RecognitionThe research team engineered CD8+ Jurkat T cells to express SVAR16 ...

As microbes invade the human body, phagocytic cells such as macrophages spring into action to clear the intruders. These cells extend arm-like projections and wrap them around the microbes before ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused over 4.9 million deaths worldwide, as well as a significant ...

Phagocytosis is a key mechanism for removing apoptotic cells and intruders. While this process is essential to maintain tissue homeostasis and immune function, researchers have limited technologies to ...
