Macrophage (Red Staining) Engulfing Dead Cells (Blue Spots)

Caption

A breakthrough research in immunology, conducted by Dr. Amiram Ariel of the University of Haifa alongside a team of students led by Dr. Sagie Schif-Zuck, set out to probe the critical stage of the inflammation healing process, when the macrophages decide to relocate and adjust their healing activities, moving from local rehabilitation of the damaged tissue to shut down of systemic immune responses at organs of the immune system.
