Irregular particle morphology and membrane rupture facilitate ion gradients in the lumen of phagosomes

Localized fluxes, production, and/or degradation coupled to limited diffusion are well known to result in stable spatial concentration gradients of biomolecules in the cell. In this study, we demonstrate that this also holds true for small ions, since we found that the close membrane apposition betw...
