Submicrometre sampling of living cells by macrophages

No sample size calculations were performed before the study. Sample sizes were determined to be acceptable based on the magnitude of effect size from previous or preliminary experiments. Experiments were not randomized. Investigators were not blinded to group allocation during data collection. Mice Mice were housed and bred under specific pathogen-free conditions, maintained on a…
