Phagocytosis
Abstract
PHAGOCYTOSIS, the process whereby single cells internalize objects that they encounter, is a matter of survival for primitive unicellular organisms, which use it to gain nourishment. Nearly a century ago Metchnikoff deduced that phagocytic cells protected higher creatures from assault by the ubiquitous microorganisms in the internal and external environment, and championed the cause of phagocytosis as the basis of survival against pyogenic infection.1 Metchnikoff's crusade provoked opposition from the proponents of humoral mechanisms of host protection, but from this controversy arose the realization that humoral factors and phagocytes co-operate,2 a concept popularized by George Bernard Shaw in The Doctor's . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
