Abstract
In invertebrates, lower vertebrates and higher vertebrates, a common pool of highly conserved molecules appears to mediate phagocytosis, the stress response and inflammation. Here, Enzo Ottaviani and Claudio Franceschi propose an evolutionary hypothesis based on an integrated network of adaptive mechanisms that are critical for survival. The macrophage plays a pivotal role in this process.
