A new study from North Carolina State University found that neutrophils—white blood cells that are a key part of the immune ...

Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have identified a way to suppress the daily fluctuations in the activity of key immune cells known as neutrophils.

Results open the door to therapies based on chronobiology, the branch of biology that studies how living organisms structure their physiological processes in time.

Neutrophils cause time-of-day–dependent collateral tissue damage after sterile injury through an intrinsic circadian program.

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 ...

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), ...

Graduate student Stefan Lundgren (left) and Associate Professor Sean Collins, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, are studying how immune system cells called neutrophils can prioritize ...

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 ...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, ...

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 ...
