This section could do with some work. There is an attempt to describe some of the molecular and signalling details, but it is not accurate. It reads as if nuclear transcription (activation of NFkappa by pattern recognition receptors) is required before phagocytosis, but it is not. Indeed, neutrophils can be manipulated such that they loose their nucleus entirely, and these cells can still phagocytose. JustAnotherKinase ( talk) 16:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
A minor point I am sur--~~~~Insert non-formatted text heree, but wondering if any Greek linguists could clarify if phagocytosis actually means cell eating or whether it is derived from phagocyte which would suggest the action of an eating-cell, the difference being whether cell is the object of subject of the verb to eat. Actually now I think of it, it must be the latter, as phagocytosis doesn't refer to only cells being consumed. Can anyone think of a better way to phrase the ambiguous cell eating in the article? -- postglock 09:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
There appears to be a bug (reported) in the Wikimedia Player that returns an error when "Watch in browser" is attempted from the link in the article. However, the Watch-in-browser (Play-in-browser) feature does appear to work from the link provided on the image description page (i.e. the "(file info)" link).-- DO11.10 18:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
This article would not be complete without a mention of the role of phagocytosis in eukaryote evolution. Verisimilus T 14:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
middle of first paragraph, this sentence is pretty unnecessarily vague and complicated. If I knew more about the subject, I'd fix it myself. "Phagocytosis is a specific form of endocytosis involving the vesicular internalization of solid such as bacteria, and is, therefore, distinct from other forms of endocytosis such as the vesicular internalization of various liquids." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.182.131 ( talk) 11:41, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
"Do not unnecessarily make a reader chase links: if a highly technical term can be simply explained with very few words, do so. Also use a link, but do not make a reader be forced to use that link to understand the sentence, especially if this requires going into nested links (a link that goes to a page with another technical term needed to be linked, which goes to a page with a link to another technical term, and so on). Don't assume that readers will be able to access a link at all, as, for example, they might have printed an article and be reading the hard copy on paper."
