Question: Do you have a favorite cell? (Don't tell the other cells!)

My favorite cell to work on is macrophages, a type of immune cell. We get them from the bone marrow of mice. They are the best model for understanding how the body fights infection but this type of cell is very precious and we only experiment on them once we have found something interesting in less important cells such as cancer cells.
