Paternal mosaicism proves the pathogenic nature of mutations in neutrophil elastase in severe congenital neutropenia [PDF]
Heterozygous mutations in neutrophil elastase have been detected in many sporadic cases of congenital neutropenia. However, a convincing pathogenetic mechanism has not been established, and it is unclear whether the effects of the mutant enzyme occur ...

Pocket ACEs: Discovering new function within an old player
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is canonically known for its role in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) where its conversion of angiotensin I (Ang I) to the bioactive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) helps to regulate blood pressure, electrolyte, and ...

Apoptosis is essential for neutrophil functional shutdown and determines tissue damage in experimental pneumococcal meningitis. [PDF]
During acute bacterial infections such as meningitis, neutrophils enter the tissue where they combat the infection before they undergo apoptosis and are taken up by macrophages.

Ccl2 and Ccl3 Mediate Neutrophil Recruitment via Induction of Protein Synthesis and Generation of Lipid Mediators [PDF]
Objective: Although the chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (Ccl2/JE/MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (Ccl3/MIP-1α) have recently been implicated in neutrophil migration, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.

Increased neutrophil infiltration, IL-1 production and a SAPHO syndrome-like phenotype in PSTPIP2-deficient mice [PDF]
Objective. Proline-serine-threonine-phosphatase-interacting protein 2 (PSTPIP2) is involved in macrophage activation, neutrophil motility and osteoclast differentiation.

Immune complex-induced anti-inflammatory neutrophil functions [PDF]
Neutrophils are short lived innate immune cells that perform a range of functions, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis, degranulation, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and production of cytokines which equip them well to defending the host from

Neutrophilic thrombophagocytosis
Platelets phagocytosed by neutrophils is a rare morphological finding on peripheral blood films. It is rarely an EDTA-dependent artifact but mainly caused by an active vascular inflammation process. Here is reported an unexpected observation of neutrophilic thrombophagocytosis, in the context of a disseminated Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
