The present paradigm dictates that phagocytosis is accomplished mainly by 'professional' phagocytes (such as macrophages and monocytes), whereas B cells lack phagocytic capabilities. Here we ...

Researchers created a light-powered phagobot that merges macrophage immune activity with optical control, allowing activation ...

4 Identification of the mutations underlying primary phagocytic disorders has provided exciting revelations connecting molecular findings to the clinical aspects of these diseases. Mathematical ...

Among these cells, certain types are capable of greater efficiency in the phagocytic process, such as monocytes or macriophages. Other, like epithelial cells, are capable of phagocytosis, but at a ...

Evaluation of abiraterone acetate post-docetaxel in the Belgian compassionate use program. High neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) persistence during enzalutamide to predict poor clinical outcome in ...

MSK-ACCESS for the detection of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) mutations in plasma cell-free (cf)DNA of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) patients (pts) pre- and on erdafitinib (erda) ...

In the standard bead ADCP assay carried out, protein-coupled fluorescent beads are incubated with antibodies to be adequately opsonized before their addition to phagocytic cells; flow cytometry is ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have designed a community of artificial cell-like droplets that collectively displays a simple form of phagocytosis behavior. The work provides a new approach ...
