phagocytes

The very mechanism of tattoos is that ink particles deposited in the skin are taken up by phagocytes.

It's a massive juggernaut which phagocytes every startup they touch, assimilate their talent, then destroy the rest.

One of the jobs of phagocytes is to present ingested material to lymphocytes in lymph nodes.

It was concluded that the function, and not the number, of phagocytes in engulfing bacteria was altered by the ingestion of sugars.

Somewhat allegorically, a new slight advantage escaping antibodies is worth nothing in context if every extra virion who escapes falls to phagocytes and cytotoxic T-cells.

In case of people who have a high level LDL cholesterol, the phagocytes - the scavenger cells in blood consume more cholesterol particles in general.

It attacks endothelial cells, liver cells, phagocytes...

I feel like this is a question that should be put to almost every submission, just to stimulate the phagocytes as my Da would say.

I'm no scientist but from that perspective, aren't phagocytes also virovores?..

There are also pro-phagocytosis (i.e., "eat me") signal(s) that also are present [2] and that play a role in whether, and how well, macrophages, and other phagocytes, can phagocytose a cell.

To your point, the article you linked only states that "she'd noticed lumps in both her armpits two weeks prior - a common symptom of lymphoma." Granulomatous change in the lymph node (when phagocytes eat up the pigment from the tattoo) is not "serious" per say, especially considering that in this case the patient had no other associated symptoms.

Phagocytes are the cells whose job it is to engulf and destroy intruders – when they detect a foreign body like a fibre, they attempt to engulf it, but are unable to complete this process if the fibre is too long and rigid.
