Granulocytes are also known as neutrophils or white blood cells. They are an important part of the body’s immune system because they contain enzymes that kill bacteria and other foreign pathogens.

Neutrophils are classified as both granulocytes and phagocytes. By definition: If you have high or low neutrophils, you may ...

A major regulator of neutrophil production and survival is the cytokine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Treatment with G-CSF can exacerbate underlying inflammatory diseases in ...

Neutrophil development, like that of eosinophils and basophils, occurs in the bone marrow. They begin life as multipotent hematopoietic stem cells with the ability to differentiate into multiple ...

Granulocytes are white blood cells that contain granules. There are three types — neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. These granules contain enzymes that enable these cells to kill bacteria ...

Emergency hemopoiesis may maintain blood counts and a proinflammatory environment in MDS, AML, and ICUS. Altered neutrophil subset distributions in MDS and AML show diagnostic sensitivity, with ...

We tested the hypothesis that neutrophil functions are impaired ... in associazione ad elevati livelli di autoanticorpi contro il granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).

Neutrophils induce anti-inflammatory -- or M2 -- macrophages deep in their granulocyte core. The dense globular structures of granulomas in animals, particularly in the lungs, have been studied.
