Macrophages lift off surface-bound bacteria using a filopodium-lamellipodium hook-and-shovel mechanism

To clear pathogens from host tissues or biomaterial surfaces, phagocytes have to break the adhesive bacteria-substrate interactions. Here we analysed the mechanobiological process that enables macrophages to lift-off and phagocytose surface-bound Escherichia coli (E. coli). In this opsonin-independe...
