U.S. scientists say they've determined immune cells don't kill bacteria by damaging their DNA, reversing a widespread assumption in the scientific community.
The University of Illinois researchers said they discovered macrophages -- the immune cells that engulf and kill bacteria -- direct their attack on targets outside the bacteria's membrane-bound cytoplasm.
