fagocytfunktion
Fagocytfunktion, also known as phagocytosis, is a fundamental cellular process in which certain cells, called phagocytes, ingest and eliminate particles such as pathogens, debris, or foreign substances. This mechanism plays a critical role in the body's immune response, tissue cleaning, and maintenance of homeostasis.
During phagocytosis, a phagocyte recognizes and binds to its target through specific receptors on its surface.
Phagocytosis is primarily performed by specialized immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. Macrophages
This process is essential for protecting the organism against infections, resolving inflammation, and removing apoptotic cells.
Research into fagocytfunktion continues to deepen understanding of immune mechanisms and has implications for developing treatments
