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 ...

M protein is known to help the bacteria adhere to human tissues, make it harder for immune cells to engulf the bacteria, and bind or inhibit other components of the human immune system ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel extracorporeal blood purification technology that captures and ...

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 ...

Neutrophils are an important part of your immune system. They’re a type of white blood cell that kills and eats bacteria and fungi to help your body fight infections and heal wounds. There are ...
