Although we know a wealth of detail about the molecular and cell biology of phagocytosis, there are many unsolved mysteries remaining. In this final chapter, some important may be tangential) questions are raised, that the bulk of researchers are not really addressing. In this chapter, some suggestions are given for this type of “blue skies” future work. These include new approaches to understanding phagocytosis and the possibility that this new knowledge may provide a solution to anti-microbial resistance. This future phagocytosis research would have an impact, not only on our understanding of phagocytosis, but potentially on the future of human health.
