Alveolar Macrophage Phagocytosis and Bacteria Clearance 肺泡巨噬細胞吞噬作用和細菌清除 Alveolar macrophages (AMs) guard the alveolar space of the lung. Phagocytosis by AMs plays a critical role in the defense against invading pathogens, the removal of dead cells or foreign particles, and in the resolution of inflammatory responses and tissue remodeling, processes that are mediated by various surface receptors of the AMs. 肺泡巨噬細胞(AMs)保護肺泡空間。 AMs的吞噬作用在防禦入侵病原體,清除死細胞或外來顆粒以及解決炎症反應和組織重塑(由AMs的各種表面受體介導的過程)中起著至關重要的作用。 節錄自https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6689232/
