Blood cells flow through our blood vessels and seem to know where to go if there is an inflammation somewhere. But the question remains as to how blood cells know where to go and how they do that. Blood vessels appear to be very active assistants for the blood cells, helping them decide where to leave the blood vessels to fight germs. Advanced microscopy plays a major and determining role in research in this field.
