Cellular Dynamics in Immunology
This chapter explores the complex interactions between immune cells, particularly how mast cells consume neutrophils through a newly identified process called 'nexocytosis.' It highlights the dual nature of neutrophils in supporting and attacking other immune cells, including their role in allergic reactions and tissue damage. The discussion also examines the implications of interferon production and the intricacies of histamine's role in both fighting pathogens and contributing to inflammation.
