Like billions of supporting military units in addition to immune cells in the body, eukaryotic cells contained in all mammals also add to the body’s immune system via their own cellular self-defense. Eukaryotic cells are composed of compartments separated by selectively permeable barriers which control their composition, each representing their own microenvironment with the potential to harm invading microorganisms. These barriers physically prevent pathogens from … Continue reading Newly discovered cell defense soaks up toxins like a sponge.
