The first line defenders of the Immune System
Hi! I am a macrophage. I look like an amoeba. I'm sure you've ever seen that unicellular under a microscope.? Like this super-movable look-alike, I can extend my body to all sides. Really fun! I am not a microbe. I'm a white corpusal, one of the trillions of immune cells in your body. I'm in all the movable animals. So. hum. inside you too. Most of the time I do an excellent job. But, I have to admit it, sometimes I'm groggy. For example, I'm pulling one of your good cells. Which is obviously completely wrong. But what do you want? My only apology is that I have a chore every day to clean up all the undesired things in your body. Such as tumors, viruses, bacteria, fungi. No wonder I have a dip every now and then, right? As soon as they are trapped, we push them inside us. In it there are corrosive substances that completely do not harm them.
Your healthy cells are very bright. Because, after an evolution of millions of years, they learned to create a dust that makes us alert to a dip. They'll just blow this dust in our muzzle. The panacea par excellence. Because it makes us extra with the pinks right away. So we leave them back at ease immediately.
Your scientists have now discovered this pouf dust in your cells. They gave it the name CD47 (t'is not music though,!).
