The production and deployment of phagocytes are central functions of the hematopoietic system. In the 1950s, radioisotopic studies demonstrated the high production rate and short lifespan of neutrophils and allowed researchers to follow the monocytes as they moved from the marrow through the blood to become tissue macrophages, histiocytes, and dendritic cells. Subsequently, the discovery of the colony-stimulating factors greatly improved understanding the regulation of phagocyte production. The…

The justifications behind the inclusion of neutrophils in a phagocyte system are expanded and the MYPS are further characterized as a group of dedicated phagocytic cells that function in an interacting and cooperative way in the host defense against microbial infection.

A bona-fide synapse assembles as a consequence of the interaction between P-selectin and its counter-receptor on neutrophils, with clustering of activated β2 integrins into membrane microdomains and reorganization of cytoskeleton components that control cell motility and phagocytosis.

Chemokine Receptors and Phagocyte Biology in Zebrafish
- BiologyFrontiers in Immunology
- 2020
This review discusses how the zebrafish model has furthered the understanding of the role of two main classes of chemokine receptors, the CC and CXC subtypes, in phagocyte biology and addresses the roles of the receptors in the migratory properties of phagocytes in zebra fish models for cancer, infectious disease, and inflammation.
When two is better than one: macrophages and neutrophils work in concert in innate immunity as complementary and cooperative partners of a myeloid phagocyte system
- BiologyJournal of leukocyte biology
- 2010
Data is highlighted suggesting the perspective that the combination of overlapping and complementary characteristics of the two professional phagocytes promotes their cooperative participation as effectors and modulators in innate immunity against infection and as orchestrators of adaptive immunity.

Recent research shows that hematopoietic progenitor cells can be mobilized with a chemokine receptor antagonist, chemotherapy, G-CSF, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, offering opportunities for the development of alternative drugs and treatments.
Phagocytosis: Hungry, Hungry Cells.
- BiologyMethods in molecular biology

Past and recent discoveries are reviewed that highlight how phagocytes recognize target particles, key signals that emanate after phagocyte-particle engagement, and how these signals help modulate actin-dependent remodeling of the plasma membrane that culminates in the release of the phagosome.

DIFFERENTIATION OF MONOCYTES : Origin, Nature, and Fate of Their Azurophil Granules

It appears that the monocyte produces two types of primary lysosomes during different phases of its life cycle—azurophil granules made by developing monocytes in bone marrow or blood, and coated vesicles made by macrophages in tissues and body cavities.

From data, it appears that the conversion of a monocyte-like cell to a mature macrophage is accompanied by the formation of increased numbers of lysosome-like cytoplasmic organelles.

This review focuses on recently published work regarding signaling pathways that regulate neutrophil apoptosis and can be accelerated both in the presence and in the absence of survival factors by activation of distinct members of the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor family.

It is suggested that activation of neutrophils by TLRs is highly regulated, permitting acute neutrophil antimicrobial responses to TLR activation while providing a "brake" on inflammation by requiring the presence of mononuclear cells to significantly extend neutrophIL survival.

One aspect of research on oxygen-independent mechanisms, the antibiotic proteins of human neutrophils, comprises at least three structurally different families that share the capacity to kill bacteria independent of oxygen and evidently, contrary to Metchnikov's conjecture, to do so independent of enzymic action.
