New research published in Cancer Cell suggests that tumour-associated neutrophils can have antitumorigenic ('N1') or protumorigenic ('N2') functions, a plasticity that has been well described for ...

where they can either promote or inhibit cancer growth. This dual functionality suggests that neutrophils are highly plastic, with their actions shaped by dynamic environmental cues within the ...

Previous studies showed that tumors are associated with the increased inflammatory burden and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is also associated with inflammatory conditions. However, there is no ...

Medically reviewed by Douglas A. Nelson, MD While a persistent, low-grade fever can occur with many different types of cancer, it is not diagnostic of cancer on its own. A fever can accompany a great ...

Prior studies in both animals and humans have reported that neutrophils can cross the blood-brain barrier, and although these cells are not typically attracted to glioblastomas, they are recruited at ...

Bin Gao and his colleagues at the National Institutes of Health provide an in-depth analysis of IL-8 + neutrophils, which are implicated as central drivers of the inflammation associated with sAH.
