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 ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A burger here, some fries there—we know these foods expand our waistlines, but researchers have uncovered something far more troubling about high-fat diets. According to new ...

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 ...

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 ...

A more-developed version of the assay used in this study may help manage patients with acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis or acute-on-chronic liver failure before liver transplantation. Patients ...

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), ...

The human body hates not getting enough oxygen. Without it, confusion takes over, breathing and heart rate change, and skin turns blue. It turns out that the immune system feels the effects of not ...

Meta-analysis shows neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is associated with higher risk and progression of diabetic nephropathy, ...
