Using lasers to precisely control white blood cells in living fish, researchers have demonstrated that some of the body’s native cells can be “remotely controlled” to accomplish a variety of tasks in ...

In a recent Nature Reviews Immunology journal study, researchers assess the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. Study: Neutrophil ...

A newly identified circadian checkpoint shifts neutrophils into a protective night-like state, reducing inflammatory heart injury while preserving the body’s ability to fight infection. Study: A ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet despite their importance, until now very little was known about how they truly ...

DNA emerging from activated neutrophils to extracellular space is stained by Sytox Green, a plasma membrane-impermeable DNA dye (0-120 min after stimulation). When harmful bacteria or other ...

Heart attacks that occur at night are less severe than those that strike during the day. A new study headed by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) and at Yale ...

A neutrophil with its typical, segmented nucleus. A protrusion of the nucleus acts like a "double-edged sword", which the neutrophil wields to kill pathogens - but which also sometimes damages tissues ...

High neutrophils and low lymphocytes are signs of physical stress, inflammation, infection, and/or a medical condition. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are white blood cells that protect the body from ...

A new study from North Carolina State University found that neutrophils—white blood cells that are a key part of the immune system—play a role in the early stages of atopic dermatitis flares in dogs.
