| Abstract | Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany * all authors contributed equally to this work (1000 words max.) Specialized innate immune cells are found across all metazoan organisms. Foundational experiments by Elie Metchnikoff revealed the existence of innate phagocytes which efficiently clear invading pathogens or cell debris in the sea star larva (Chang, 2009). The concept of phagocytic immune cells is conserved across insects to mammals and their counterparts are found in Drosophila, zebrafish or mammals. These cells seem to serve two major functions: the clearance of invading pathogens and cell debris, as well as the release of immunomodulatory molecules and growth factors (Kierdorf and Dionne, 2016). Their functions cover a variety of tasks from combating infections or cancer to maintaining tissue homeostasis and repair.This research topic contains a collection of original research articles and literature reviews pointing towards the importance of understanding phagocyte function in a cross-species approach, but also highlighting the necessity and elegance of experimental model organisms in biomedical research. More and more studies reveal that immune functions and ontogeny of many phagocyte subtypes are conserved across species (Gold and Brückner, 2014). By studying phagocyte function in different species we can obtain new insights into the innate immune function of human phagocytes such as granulocyte, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages (Geirsdottir et al., 2019;Zindel et a... |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
