Macrophages are best known for their destruction of microorganisms but also their production of toxic molecules that cause the death of invading microbes along with host tissue pathology. As advances continue in basic research on the nature and structure of macrophages the pieces are starting to come together so we have a fuller idea of what goes on, ...
