Not exact matches
Retinal cell death can be induced by phagocytic immune cells that infiltrate the
tissue in response to injury or infection, but the molecular signals that trigger
phagocyte invasion are largely unknown.
This renewed interest in
phagocytes provides an ideal starting point for a meeting of cell biologists, immunologists, and developmental biologists interested in further exploring the
phagocyte's fundamental role in
tissue biology, identifying gaps in our current knowledge, and defining disease pathways, beginning with infection and inflammation and extending beyond.
The ability to grow in infected
tissues within
phagocytes is required for S. enterica virulence in systemic disease.
