Description
Madhurima Roy and co-authors study white blood cells in a skin disease in 2024. The disease follows a severe parasite infection of the inner organs. It leaves skin lesions that can keep the parasite cycle alive and threaten control programs. Neutrophils are first responders in the organ disease, but their role in the skin form was unclear.
The team counted neutrophils in skin samples from patients. They stained the samples to spot active and spent forms of the cells. They also tracked enzymes the cells release and the skin protein they may harm. The work probes whether these early defenders help or hurt in the skin stage.
