Engineered nanovesicles from activated neutrophils show promise in treating infected wounds
A recent study has developed nanovesicles (NVs) from activated neutrophils, showcasing their ability to perform molecular debridement and accelerate healing in infectious wounds. This novel method significantly enhances treatment effectiveness, particularly for stubborn diabetic wounds, by targeting and neutralizing deep tissue pathogens.
Researchers Uncover Mechanisms behind Enigmatic Shapes of Nuclei
White blood cells known as neutrophils feature a nucleus that is structured strikingly different than most nuclei. These unique shapes permit neutrophils to travel all over the body to combat invading pathogens.
