A new study in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to respond to infection by impacting the function of neutrophils, one of the first immune ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A burger here, some fries there—we know these foods expand our waistlines, but researchers have uncovered something far more troubling about high-fat diets. According to new ...

Researchers have discovered that mimicking cold exposure or fasting can trigger an immune response in the body that slows ...

Hospitalized older adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and sepsis exhibit impaired neutrophil function; however, glycolytic metabolism is not the driver of neutrophil dysfunction. This ...

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology, researchers examine the multifaceted roles of neutrophils in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and highlight ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet despite their importance, until now very little was known about how they truly ...

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), ...

The human body hates not getting enough oxygen. Without it, confusion takes over, breathing and heart rate change, and skin turns blue. It turns out that the immune system feels the effects of not ...
