The Masters of Phagocytosis
Monocytes eventually become macrophages and dendritic cells. These are amoeba-like cells that roam around your body, looking for anything foreign. Did you cut yourself, and there are now bacteria falling into the wound? You can bet that some type of monocyte will find their way there to eliminate the intruders. This necklace celebrates these frontline fighters that work day and night to keep your body germ-free (mostly). Buy this piece for yourself or for a friend. It makes a great gift for soldiers, marines, bodyguards, and starry-eyed pre-med students.
