The current view of the neutrophil as a short-lived, homogeneous cell type with a role limited to the elimination of pathogens during the innate immune response has begun to change. Recent studies ...

Our understanding of the immune system is continually evolving; what we previously understood develops on a regular basis as more experiments are performed and the complexity inherent within it grows ...

PHILADELPHIA -- (Oct. 15, 2018) -- Researchers at The Wistar Institute have characterized the function of neutrophils, a type of white blood cells, during early stages of tumor progression, showing ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

As an arm of the innate immune system, white blood cells called neutrophils form the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Neutrophils spend most of their lives racing through the ...

A new study published in the Journal Cell Physiology shows that e-cigarettes have toxic effects on neutrophils function, making them a threat to human health by increasing the likelihood of infection ...
