Meals for macrophages – investigating how macrophages engulf and process dying cells in vivo
University of Sheffield Department of Infection, Immunity and Cardiovascular Disease
A critical role for phagocytic cells such as macrophages is the engulfment and subsequent degradation of dying cells and debris. Failure to clear targets such as apoptotic cells can lead to damaging autoimmune conditions and immune cell dysfunction (Morioka et al., 2019; Roddie et al., 2019). Read more
