How can you use “phagocytic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Previously, Steimle and colleagues [ 23 ] reported that in interphase cells, during chemotaxis, random migration, and endocytic/phagocytic events, MHCK-A is recruited preferentially to anterior F-actin rich protrusions.
Recent studies have suggested that phagocytic leukocytes including macrophages and neutrophils contribute to the pathophysiology of endotoxin-induced lung injury [ 22 ] . Whereas macrophages are normally present in the tissue, the majority of neutrophils responding to endotoxin must emigrate into the lung from the blood.
This model is consistent with the recent report that MHCK-A displays enrichment into anterior F-actin-rich protrusions of polarized cells during chemotaxis, and into phagocytic and macropinocytotic extensions [ 23 ] . The polar localization of MHCK-A would be consistent with the long-standing "polar relaxation" model for cytoskeletal reorganization during cytokinesis [ 33 ] . MHCK-A may represent a factor that contributes to polar relaxation in this system via polar disassembly of myosin II filaments.
Yet, elevated maternal mid-trimester chorionic gonadotropin is associated with fetal cerebral blood flow redistribution and adverse perinatal outcome [ 63 ] . In addition, estrogens, which are known to cause a diminution of high LH levels in postmenopausal women, have been reported to be effective in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease [ 72 73 74 ] . Microglia belong among cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system [ 75 ] . Since CG increases secretion of a variety of cytokines by monocytes, and induces their inflammatory reaction and phagocytic activity [ 76 77 78 79 ] , high LH levels in aging individuals may also activate resident macrophages in the central nervous system and contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease and other inflammation-mediated neurodegenerative diseases.
Once within the body cavity, microbes may be consumed by the phagocytic blood cells called plasmatocytes (Figure 1).
