Revolutionary Breakthrough Unveils Inflammation's Weakness in Medicine.
Researchers at Kyoto University have found that neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, can induce anti-inflammatory macrophages (M2) within granulomas, which are dense globular structures that form during chronic inflammation. This M2 macrophage polarization can help regulate inflammation and tissue health. The team believes that their findings, derived from studying tuberculosis, could also be applied to tumor development. This finding could contribute to more effective cancer drug development.
