Groups of cells called phagocytes are like the clean-up crews of our body – eating and clearing away debris or foreign particles. UConn Health immunologist Kai Li has developed a unique system called PhagoPL to capture and study how phagocytes feel, taste, digest and respond to their “meal.” Understanding this process is relevant to developing treatments for many diseases, such as lupus, sepsis or cancer.
