A single phagocyte typically ingests an entire apoptotic corpse, essentially doubling its content. Because phagocytes often ingest multiple targets in succession, we propose the existence of ...

Under physiological conditions, apoptotic cells (ACs) could be effectively phagocytized and cleared by phagocyte-mediated efferocytosis. In contrast, the clearance efficiency of ACs in AS plaque was ...

NADPH oxidase activity in this patient's neutrophils was decreased, as were monocyte and phagocyte killing of bacteria. This patient underwent HSCT and improved without any conventional therapy for ...

Salmonellae are globally important Gram-negative bacterial pathogens that infect a range of hosts and cause several diseases, including gastroenteritis and typhoid fever. Orally ingested bacteria ...
