In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers explored neutrophil involvement in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation in obesity. Study: Obesity-associated microbiomes ...

From the moment they’re born, newborns — or, specifically, their immune systems — must learn to fight germs without harming their own tissues. In a new study, Yale researchers found that one type of ...

White blood cells are important foot soldiers in the immune system, but their numbers can be cut by health conditions or treatments like chemotherapy. Yale scientists have now discovered a molecule ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound. In response, a white blood cell arrives ...

Immature ganulocytes, also called myeloblasts, are a type of young white blood cell. Unusual amounts of myeloblasts usually occur due to problems with bone marrow, such as certain types of blood ...

Electrically stimulating key cells in the immune system could "reprogram" them to reduce inflammation and encourage faster and more effective healing in the body. This is the discovery of scientists ...
