Culture System for a Closer Biological Contact Between Macrophages and Microparticles
To investigate the effects of microparticles on the immune system, a device was designed for an optimal culture environment. Macrophages phagocytose microparticles and produce inflammatory cytokines. In a culture environment in which macrophages phagocytose microparticles mixed in a culture medium,...
