The Neutrophils

The Neutrophils New Outlook for Old Cells 3rd Edition
This is a third edition of the monograph that was first published 12 years ago. At that time, interest in neutrophils witnessed a revival, due to new technological advances allowing a more detailed analysis of their biology. Since then, attention to the process did not subside but, on the contrary, has only been enhanced.

During the last seven years, since publication of the second edition of the book, the field of neutrophils research has made tremendous progress. Neutrophils remain a test ground for new hypoth-eses in signal transduction, reactive oxygen production, mechanisms of cell motility and adhesion. The results of these studies continue to have widespread implications for our understanding of many biological pro-cesses. Emerging understanding of the close link between innate and adaptive immunity put neutrophils into a prominent position in the ini-tiation and regulation of immune responses. New information also impli-cates pathologically activated neutrophils, and their precursors, in the regulation of the immune response in cancer.
