Phagocytosis requires rapid actin reorganization and spatially controlled force generation to
ingest targets ranging from pathogens to apoptotic cells. How actomyosin activity directs …

Macrophage to foam cell transition and their accumulation in the arterial intima are the key
events that trigger atherosclerosis, a multifactorial inflammatory disease. Previous studies …

Phagocytosis is a fundamental biological function which allows immune cells, such as
macrophages, to internalize and eliminate harmful particles such as pathogens, bacteria …

Macrophages are key mediators of efferocytosis–the phagocytic engulfment and removal of
apoptotic cells. During engulfment, the coordinated activity of efferocytic receptors induces …
