摘要
Phagocytosis is important in immune defense and development in vertebrates and invertebrates. It leads to swift ingestion of microorganisms and dying cells by phagocytes. How particles are recognized is not well understood. Studies in insects, and Drosophila in particular, argue that these are powerful model systems to dissect this process.
