Macrophage engulfing cancer cell. 3D computer illustration of a macrophage white blood cell (pink) phagocytosing (engulfing) a cancerous cell (blue). Macrophages are cells of the body's immune system that are found in the tissues rather than in the circulating blood. They recognise foreign particles, such as cancer cells and bacteria, and phagocytose (engulf) and digest them.
