A new study in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to respond to infection by impacting the function of neutrophils, one of the first immune ...

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology, researchers examine the multifaceted roles of neutrophils in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and highlight ...

Figure 1: Mechanisms involved in regulation of tumor progression by neutrophil PAD4. “Using several transplantable and genetically engineered mouse models, we demonstrated that tumor growth was ...

Hospitalized older adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and sepsis exhibit impaired neutrophil function; however, glycolytic metabolism is not the driver of neutrophil dysfunction. This ...

Scientists identify WASH protein complex as a gatekeeper of neutrophil-driven inflammation. A team led by Scripps Research scientists has uncovered key details of an immune-cell process that ...

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 ...

Blood samples from healthy adults show an inhibition of neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NET) after 1 week of daily ginger supplements. Researchers recruited nine healthy adults aged 18-38 ...

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), ...

Background Neutrophils guarantee a prompt and robust host response to pathogens. Yet, overshooting neutrophil activation ...
