Myocardial infarction (MI) induces a rapid and robust inflammatory response characterized by infiltration of different leukocyte cell types to the infarcted heart. Neutrophils are the first cells to ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells, critical for immune defense and inflammation control. Traditionally, their role in cancer was seen as minor, but emerging evidence reveals ...

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 ...

Neutropenia, a condition characterized by low neutrophil levels, is common in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can lead to severe infections. A new study investigates the role ...

A pioneering study has uncovered the complex and dual roles of neutrophils in cancer development, demonstrating their remarkable ability to both stimulate and suppress tumor growth. This research ...
