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 ...

Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and Yale University (USA) have published a comprehensive review article in the journal ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

Neutrophils play a crucial role by engulfing pathogens and releasing enzymes that kill invaders to fight infections. When they are activated by infection, neutrophils can release neutrophil ...

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 ...

RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...

Whether at the start of a sinus infection or a fresh open wound, neutrophils are the first line of defense in an immune attack. 1 In order to rush to the scene to kill infectious microbes, they have a ...
