A comprehensive assessment of four whole blood stabilizers for flow-cytometric analysis of leukocyte populations [PDF]
Cytometry Part A, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 313-324, April 2023., 2022 Though cryopreservation of cell fractions is widely used in flow cytometry studies, whole blood cryopreservation is more challenging due to the presence of erythrocytes and effects of fixatives commonly used for preservation.

Production of viable and functional neutrophils in granulocyte concentrates with the Reveos automated system. [PDF]
Vox SangAbstract Background and Objectives Granulocyte transfusions may benefit patients with neutropaenia and life‐threatening infections unresponsive to antimicrobial therapies. Current aphaeresis‐based granulocyte concentrate (GC) production requires donor stimulation and hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which raises safety and supply concerns.

Theranostic Toolbox for Neutrophil Functionalization. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Here, neutrophil‐specific fluorine nanoparticles additionally equipped with either activating or inhibiting peptides for a background‐free 19F MRI‐based nanotheranostic approach are engineered. It is demonstrated that this approach is suitable to visualize and concomitantly direct neutrophil functionality depending on the specific requirements to ...

Activin A impairs ActRIIA+ neutrophil recruitment into infected skin of mice
iScience, 2021 Summary: Activin A levels are elevated during multiple severe infections and associated with an increased risk of death. However, the role of activin A in bacterial infection is still unclear. Here, we found that activin A levels were increased during S.
