Endogenous melatonin promotes rhythmic recruitment of neutrophils toward an injury in zebrafish

Abstract Neutrophil recruitment to injured tissue appears to be an evolutionarily conserved strategy for organisms to fight against exogenous insults. Recent studies have shown rhythmic migration of neutrophils and several factors, including melatonin, have been implicated in regulating this rhythmi...
