Cytonemes Versus Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the Fight of Neutrophils with Microbes
Neutrophils can phagocytose microorganisms and destroy them intracellularly using special bactericides located in intracellular granules. Recent evidence suggests that neutrophils can catch and kill pathogens extracellularly using the same bactericidal agents. For this, live neutrophils create a cyt...
