Neutrophils, the moast numerous cells in the immune system, are described in a new scientific analysis as a dynamic and adaptable collective with functions far more complex than simply eliminating pathogens quickly.
The findings appear in a review article by researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M),the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC),and Yale University,published in the journal Cell.
The authors analyzed a large volume of data from recent research and propose a unified interpretation that brings together results from studies on cancer, inflammation, and immunology – a field that studies the coordinated functioning of the components of the immune system at the organism level.
In this view, neutrophils do not act in isolation, but function as a coordinated system, capable of diversifying their roles and developing forms of immunological memory, those persistent changes in their behavior following previous exposures to different pathogens.
Traditionally, neutrophils…
