Human cell F-actin density differentially influences trogocytosis and phagocytosis by <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>

2026-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic amoeba and the cause amoebiasis, a common but understudied human diarrheal disease. E. histolytica trophozoites (“amoebae”) kill human cells through a process of cell-nibbling called trogocytosis ( trogo -: nibble) that contributes to tissue damage. Amoebae can also perform phagocytosis, in which entire human cells are ingested. Based on studies in which human cells were arti...
