What Challenges Do Phagocytes Face in Detoxification?
Phagocytes face several challenges in detoxification, including the ability of some toxins to evade detection or resist degradation. Certain toxins can inhibit phagocytic activity, disrupt cellular functions, or even kill phagocytic cells. Moreover, chronic exposure to toxic substances can overwhelm phagocytes, leading to persistent inflammation and tissue damage. Understanding these challenges is essential for developing strategies to enhance phagocyte function and improve detoxification outcomes.
