“We have our macrophages under control!”

Our giant phagocytes in the liver are the “butlers” of the tissues: they not only fight bacteria, but also eat metabolic waste and even microplastics. “They also make sure that the neighboring cells are happy,” says developmental biologist and immunologist Prof. Dr. Elvira Mass from the LIMES Institute. In the new episode of Bonn University's podcast "die Hypothese" (the hypothesis), she discusses the thesis “We have our macropahges under control!” with host Denis Nasser.
