Embryos can eliminate bacterial infections before developing an immune system by using epithelial cells to ingest and destroy bacteria through actin-dependent phagocytosis. This mechanism, observed in ...
Phagocytosis is a cellular process in which a cell engulfs and digests solid particles such as bacteria, dead cells, and debris. It is a specialized form of endocytosis and plays a central role in immune defense, tissue maintenance, and nutrient acquisition in many organisms.
