Neutrophils are critical immune cells for antimicrobial defense, but they can exacerbate a number of diseases, perhaps including COVID-19. The traditional approaches to study neutrophils in animal ...

The Fungal Exopolysaccharide Galactosaminogalactan Mediates Virulence by Enhancing Resistance to Neutrophil Extracellular Traps. PLOS Pathogens , 2015; 11 (10): e1005187 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat ...

The fungal molecule β-glucan is a known trigger of trained immunity ... They produced more inflammatory molecules and ...

Now, a newly developed compound that reduces harmful inflammation in rats caused by overactive neutrophils shows promise as a safer treatment for various inflammatory diseases in humans.

The findings published in Science Translational Medicine show that two types of white blood cell (neutrophils and a unique type of B cells) normally work together to fight fungal infection.

A single-cell analysis of nearly 18,000 white blood cells identifies a unique neutrophil subset characterized by type II interferon signature genes in patients with new-onset MPA.
