A vesicle-mediated transport process that results in the engulfment of external particulate material by phagocytes and their delivery to the lysosome. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles.

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a natural killer cell.

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the rate of production of a cytokine.

The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein.

A series of molecular signals initiated by activation of a receptor on the surface of a cell. The pathway begins with binding of an extracellular ligand to a cell surface receptor, or for receptors that signal in the absence of a ligand, by ligand-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.

Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. This process includes signal transduction in the receiving cell and, where applicable, release of a ligand and any processes that actively facilitate its transport and presentation to the receiving cell. Examples include signaling via soluble ligands, via cell adhesion molecules and via gap junctions.

The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis.

A series of progressive, overlapping events triggered by exposure of the platelets to subendothelial tissue. These events include shape change, adhesiveness, aggregation, and release reactions. When carried through to completion, these events lead to the formation of a stable hemostatic plug.

The controlled release of a substance by a cell.

The morphogenetic process that results in flattening of a cell as a consequence of its adhesion to a substrate.

The recognition and removal of an apoptotic cell by a neighboring cell or by a phagocyte.

The recognition and removal of an apoptotic cell by a neighboring cell or by a phagocyte.

A series of reactions, mediated by the intracellular serine/threonine kinase protein kinase B (also called AKT), which occurs as a result of a single trigger reaction or compound.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis.

The movement of a leukocyte within or between different tissues and organs of the body.

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of lymphocyte activation.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the retina over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The retina is the innermost layer or coating at the back of the eyeball, which is sensitive to light and in which the optic nerve terminates.

The reproductive developmental process whose specific outcome is the progression of the vagina over time, from its formation to the mature structure.

The selective elimination of senescent neutrophils from the body by autoregulatory mechanisms.

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of leukocyte apoptotic process.

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of leukocyte apoptotic process.

The outer segment of a vertebrate photoreceptor that contains a stack of membrane discs embedded with photoreceptor proteins.

The outer segment of a vertebrate photoreceptor that contains a stack of membrane discs embedded with photoreceptor proteins.

That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid.

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

The component of the plasma membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.

The specialized microvilli-containing organelle on the apical surfaces of a photoreceptor cell containing the visual pigment rhodopsin and most of the proteins involved in phototransduction.
