One hundred years have passed since the death of Élie Metchnikoff (1845–1916). He was
the first to observe the uptake of particles by cells and realized the importance of this …

It has been a century since the death of Élie Metchnikoff, who championed the role of
phagocytosis in cellular immunity. Whereas others had observed the uptake of particles by …

Phagocytosis is a remarkably complex and versatile process: it contributes to innate
immunity through the ingestion and elimination of pathogens, while also being central to …

Phagocytosis, the regulated uptake of large particles (> 0.5 μm in diameter), is essential for
tissue homeostasis and is also an early, critical component of the innate immune response …

Phagocytosis is defined as the receptor-mediated engulfment of large (≥ 0.5 μm) particles
into plasma membrane-derived vacuoles called phagosomes. Following scission from the …

Phagocytosis, a critical early event in the microbicidal response of neutrophils, is now
appreciated to serve multiple functions in a variety of cell types. Professional phagocytes …
