The Phagocytic Function of Macrophage-Enforcing Innate Immunity and Tissue Homeostasis
Macrophages are effector cells of the innate immune system that phagocytose bacteria and secrete both pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial mediators. In addition, macrophages play an important role in eliminating diseased and damaged cells through their programmed cell death. Generally, macrophages in...
