Once detached, the white blood cells engulf and consume the pathogens. This study was led by Wang, with Subhankar Kundu, a postdoctoral research fellow in his lab, serving as the first author.

Certain white blood cells protect us from bacteria by engulfing them. A research team has now observed the process under the microscope, thanks to novel fluorescent proteins. Certain white blood ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound. In response, a white blood cell ...

this video of a ridiculously-dogged white blood cell in hot pursuit of some fleeing bacteria is a master class in suspense done right. The video sequence above depicts a neutrophil dodging through ...

A mimic of the potent proteins used by white blood cells to punch holes in ... Phagocyte immune cells that engulf bacteria use defensins to digest their prey. These small molecules are ...

Saliva is a glorious thing. Not only is it good for licking lollipops, sealing envelopes, moistening bites of food, and making spitballs—but it actually helps wounds heal faster. Now researchers ...
