Immune discusses two stories of immune cells eating other cells: microglia engulfing brain neurons to shape cortical development and behavior, and mast cells trapping neutrophils to increase their functional and metabolic fitness.
Immune reviews research showing that the migration of neutrophils between endothelial cells activates bactericidal function via mechanosensing.
The immune professors discuss neutrophil extracellular traps, and how IgA-virus immune complexes potentiate this process through Fc receptors on neutrophils.
Stephanie takes the Immune team on a tour of neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes in mammals, including tethers and slings, neutrophil rolling, and neutrophil nets.
