Neutrophils

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in your immune system. They act as first responders to infections, especially bacteria and fungi, by moving quickly to where the infection is and engulfing the harmful microbes. Neutrophils also release chemicals that help coordinate the immune response and attract more immune cells to the site. They are essential for defending the body against infections and maintaining good health, but they also need to be carefully controlled to prevent damage to healthy tissue.
