When a neutrophil encounters a pathogen, it can respond in several ways: phagocytosis, degranulation, or by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In NET release, shown here, the enzyme ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
