New Paper! How neutrophils control the inflammatory response after spinal cord injury

Three day old zebrafish larvae with fluorescently labeled neutrophils (green) and other immune cells (magenta).

Xiaobo’s paper examining how neutrophils regulate the inflammatory response after spinal cord injury was accepted at the Journal of Neuroinflammation! Neutrophils use Il-4 to signal to other immune cells, such as macrophages, to down-tune the pro-inflammatory response to injury. Check out the paper here!
