Neutrophils, one of the immune system warriors that were thought to be all the same, turn out to be diverse. Unfortunately, these cells are also active in autoimmune diseases.

Assistant Professor Andrew Monteith's lab in the Department of Microbiology is documenting how key immune cells detect infection and how that fails to happen in people with lupus. Research ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components ...

Persistent infections occur because, while Anaplasmosis marginale is a gram negative organism, it does not produce endotoxins meaning the immune system doesn’t have an endotoxin trigger. The organisms ...

Neutropenia, a condition characterized by low neutrophil levels, is common in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can lead to severe infections. A new study investigates the role ...
