✅   A crosstalk between adhesion and phagocytosis integrates macrophage functions into their microenvironment

science

Phagocytosis is the process of actin-dependent internalization and degradation of large particles. Macrophages, which are professional phagocytes, are present in all tissues and are, thus, exposed to environments with different mechanical properties. How mechanical cues from macrophages' environment affect their ability to phagocytose and, in turn, how phagocytosis influences how phagocytic cells interact with their environment remain poorly understood. We found that the ability of macrophages...
