Neutrophil accumulation within tissues: A damage x healing dichotomy

The abundance of neutrophils in human circulation, their fast mobilization from blood to tissues, along with their alleged short life-span led to the image of neutrophils as a homogeneous cell type designed to fight infections and die in the process. Additionally, their granule content and capacity...

description The abundance of neutrophils in human circulation, their fast mobilization from blood to tissues, along with their alleged short life-span led to the image of neutrophils as a homogeneous cell type designed to fight infections and die in the process.
