Researchers discover internal compass of immune cell PhysOrg
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have discovered how neutrophils - specialized white blood cells that play key roles in inflammation and in the body's immune defense against bacteria - navigate to sites of infection and inflammation. These findings could potentially lead to new treatments for serious infections and inflammatory diseases in patients.
