The authors studied the effect of gentamicin on abilities of neutrophils to uptake and killing of extracellular Staphylococcus. Gentamicin had not changed naturally the ability of healthy men and burn patients neutrophils to uptake Staphylococcus, but intensified the ability of neutrophils to killing of these bacteria.

Pediatric intensive care patients are particularly susceptible to severe bacterial infections because of ineffective neutrophil responses. The reasons why neutrophils of newborns are less responsive than those of adults are not clear. Because adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine (ADO) tightly regulate neutrophils, we studied whether the ATP and ADO levels in the blood of newborn mice could impair the function of their neutrophils.

Targeted drug delivery is a promising strategy for treating inflammatory diseases, with recent research focusing on the combination of neutrophils and nanomaterials. In this study, a targeted nanodrug delivery platform (Ac-PGP-tFNA, APT) was developed using tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) along with a neutrophil hitchhiking mechanism to achieve precise delivery and anti-inflammatory effects. The tFNA structure, known for its excellent drug-loading capacity and cellular uptake efficiency, was used to carry a therapeutic agent─baicalin.

The recent study from the Pogge von Strandmann group published in , by Alashkar Alhamwe ., combined for the first time the Cre-LoxP recombination system with single-cell sequencing. The group monitored the tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake and the EV functions in the recipient non-malignant cells in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model.

Background: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radioligand therapy, with immunomodulatory effects, has shown efficacy in both preclinical and clinical studies. We recently reported on a novel dimeric FAP-targeting radiopharmaceutical, Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI), which demonstrated increased tumor uptake and prolonged retention in various cancers. However, further exploration is required to understand the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of combining Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI) radioligand therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a critical role in hemostasis, and emerging evidence suggests its involvement in inflammation. Our study aimed to investigate the interaction between circulating plasma VWF and neutrophils (polymorphonuclear cells, PMNs), elucidate the fate of VWF after binding, and explore its impact on neutrophil behavior. Neutrophils were isolated from the whole blood of healthy volunteers, and their interaction with plasma VWF was examined ex vivo.
