Description
Carlos Blanco-Camarillo and Carlos Rosales review a puzzling subgroup of white blood cells called low-density neutrophils. Their 2025 paper gathers what is known about these cells in health and disease. Neutrophils were once seen as a uniform defense cell. These lighter cells break that view. They turn up among a blood layer where they do not normally belong, and their numbers surge in several diseases.
In lupus, the cells readily cast out web-like traps and release strong signals that drive swelling. In cancer, the same label covers cells that calm immune defense instead. That clash has sown confusion about what the cells truly are and do. The authors sort the disputes over how to spot and name them. They also weigh the cells as possible markers of disease and as targets for future care.
