Multiparameter tissue landscapes: shaping neutrophil functional states

Neutrophils represent a major arm of the innate immune defence system, with a long- held view of them being transcriptionally inactive, fast responders, mobilised in response to microbial and tissue insults. Read more

Antibody-Mediated Immunity: Balancing Durable Protection and Pathogenic Antibody Responses

Antibodies are secreted by plasma cells (PC) that differentiate from activated B cells. Most PCs are short live; they will die soon after the vaccine or infection are cleared. Read more
