Researchers at the University of Georgia in the United States have shed light on the pathological mechanisms underlying the association between the genetic locus 3p21.31 and severe coronavirus disease ...

Review of the emerging understanding of trained immunity in the skin and how infection-driven cellular processes induce long-lasting immune adaptation and modulate skin barrier integrity.

A novel, single tube, multi-parameter 7-color immunophenotyping assay was developed to characterize PNH clones in blood leukocytes. Monocytes, eosinophils and basophils had the highest proportion of ...

Two concepts are important to understanding how leukocytes become immunocompetent cells: proliferation and differentiation (Figure 6). Proliferation is the production of many cells from a single cell ...

White cells are the immune cells of the body. Also called leukocytes, they are useful in fighting infections and belong to five types. About 100 million white cells are produced by the body each day.

The study's findings suggest that high baseline white blood cell count, particularly high neutrophil count, was associated with a higher incidence of long-term acute exacerbation of chronic ...
