A better model for neutrophil-related diseases Date: June 2, 2020 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: Neutrophils are critical immune cells for antimicrobial defense, but ...

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 ...

However, the neutrophil-depletion model is only partially effective, lacks specificity, and doesn't last long enough. Now, scientists led by Etienne Meylan at EPFL, ...

Neutrophil migration and its role during inflammation has been the focus of increased interest in the past decade. Advances in live imaging and the use of new model systems have helped to uncover ...

A new study published in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to ...

They identified them by staining for Ly6G, a cell-surface receptor specific for mouse neutrophils. Accumulation of these cells peaked around the age when cognitive problems began in each model, and ...

Neutrophils are key to mounting an effective immune response when receiving a pneumonia vaccine, preclinical study shows; News Releases. News Topics; ... instead of a model antigen to study the nature ...

But neutrophils don’t respond only to infections. They also swarm to damaged tissue that’s unrelated to an infection, such as during a heart attack or stroke. Rather than help in these situations of ...
