Distinct timing of neutrophil spreading and stiffening during phagocytosis

Alexandra Zak et al.

Summary: Phagocytic cells play a crucial role in the defense mechanism of an organism by engulfing microbial pathogens. However, the mechanical changes that occur during phagocytosis are not well understood. This study investigates the simultaneous and sequential spreading and mechanical modifications in phagocytes during phagocytosis. The results show that cell mechanical changes are not solely caused by cell spreading, and models of phagocytosis need to consider other factors contributing to cell stiffening.

Understanding nanoparticle endocytosis to improve targeting strategies in nanomedicine

Mauro Sousa de Almeida et al.

Summary: Nanoparticles have diverse applications, particularly in nanomedicine for detecting and treating diseases like cancer and inflammation. Understanding the mechanisms of cellular uptake and intracellular localization of nanoparticles is crucial for therapeutic applications. Factors such as physicochemical properties, endocytic pathways, and cellular uptake regulators play key roles in the application of nanoparticles in medicine.
