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 ...

In this study, we aim to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the pro-phagocytic function of phosphoSTAT3. Methods: Phagocytosing bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) treated with and ...

“Our findings revealed that aging induced changes in the gene expression in both innate and adaptive immune cells, aligned with the dysfunction of both innate and adaptive immune responses observed in ...

The function of Rho proteins in CR3-mediated phagocytosis has been examined by Caron and colleagues, who reported that inhibition of RhoA by C3 transferase blocks CR3-mediated uptake 18.

29 Oct 2024. Far from a static barrier, the brain’s extensive interface with the blood is increasingly being appreciated as an active border, one that serves not only to keep some proteins out, but to ...

Monocyte-derived macrophages modelled microglial function to explore impaired synaptic clearance in autism spectrum disorder (white: neurites of hiPS cell-derived neurons, green: macrophages from ...

Cell 'canibalism' educates our defenses Date: May 3, 2017 Source: Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Summary: Phagocytosis is a biological mechanism whereby specialized cells ...

Study: Opsonization by non-neutralizing antibodies can confer protection to SARS-CoV-2 despite Spike-dependent modulation of phagocytosis. Image Credit: StudioMoleKuul / Shutterstock.com. This ...

Increased Lecithin Synthesis during Phagocytosis by ... of degranulation in this disease, 10,11 casting further doubt on the contention that the defect in leukocyte function is due to a ...

To study microglia phagocytosis function in response to obesogenic diets, Dr. Alassaf used Drosophila microglia-like cells called ensheathing glia. They reside in the antennal lobe region, the primary ...

Phagocytosis function. The cellular processes of phagocytosis consist of four distinct phases that include 1) the detection of target material, 2) activation of phagocytosis, 3) the formation and 4) ...
