摘要：

Phagocytosis and innate immune responses to solid structures are topics of interest and debate.Alum,monosodium urate,calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate,silica and by extension all solid entities draw varying degrees of attention from phagocytes,such as antigen presenting cells.For some,innocuous soluble metabolites turn into fierce irritants upon crystallization,pointing to divergent signaling mechanisms of a given substance in its soluble and solid states.
