How does a macrophage decide to eat or simply nibble? Check out our latest paper! You can also read this nice review. Congrats Caitlin for leading this amazing work! www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm extremely happy to say that a new preprint from Ruprecht lab is out! Check it to to know more about a novel role for the E-cadherin/catenin complex in controlling epithelial phagocytosis 🍽🐟🔬

Features new works from Stankunas Lab @uoregon.bsky.social, Ruprecht Lab @crg.eu & @campaslab.bsky.social (albeit mammals this time 😉)

Thrilled to share that our "Poster at a Glance" on #Phagocytosis is out! Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social @biologists.bsky.social for the invitation ! Prepared with @manondepierre.bsky.social @chiarapompili.bsky.social from @institutcochin.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

How innate immunity starts? Early embryos eliminate bacterial infections by epithelial phagocytosis, a conserved process from zebrafish to human embryos. Check our story: www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

I knew there would be an effect! This has been one of the questions that I had for the longest time. Changing the mechanics of the substrate affects phagocytosis. Very interesting paper! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
