Plastic nanoparticles could neutralize neutrophils, tricky cells that can complicate immune response
Experiments in mice suggest that simple plastic nanoparticles, delivered by IV, may be able to keep a type of immune cell -- called a neutrophil -- too busy to cause inflammation. Diseases in which neutrophils cause excessive inflammation include sepsis and atherosclerosis, or the hardening of the ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
