The study's findings suggest that high baseline white blood cell count, particularly high neutrophil count, was associated with a higher incidence of long-term acute exacerbation of chronic ...

Neutrophils, blood cells that serve as a first-response to invading bacteria, feature nuclei that — rather than being uniformly round as most other cells — are divided into multiple petals or lobes, ...

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 ...

The role of RNAs keeps growing and growing. New research shows that cell surface RNAs are critical in neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites. These “glycoRNAs” on the cell surface of neutrophils ...

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), ...

Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy ...
