Talk:Neutrophil

message: I'm working on an illustration of a neutrophil, hopefully it will be up by the end of the day! Mrestko 16:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There appears to be a bug (reported) in the Wikimedia Player that returns an error when "Watch in browser" is attempted from the link in the article. However, the Watch-in-browser (Play-in-browser) feature does appear to work from the link provided on the image description page (i.e. the "(file info)" link).--DO11.10 18:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: A figure bears the following caption, but within the figure is a box stating that it shows counts, not amounts.

message: Hello, why microphagy redirects here? The term does not show into this article. Pamputt (talk) 23:49, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The article is great about describing how they work - but fails to mention how their production levels can be altered, except for a vague reference to genetics. Anybody? Anything? Aadieu (talk) 09:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If information on stimulating neutrophil production in the bone marrow is warranted, then mention of and a link to GM-CSF and G-CSF therapy could be added.JustAnotherKinase (talk) 08:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any ways to boost their production? 

message: Suggest upping the "importance rating" of this page. These are the most abundant (and hard-working) white blood cells in the circulation. An essential part of our immune system responsible for much of our defence against infection AND for much of the damage to self that goes on in inflammation and in auto-immune diseases (MS, type I diabetes, Crohns Disease).JustAnotherKinase (talk) 12:01, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You can change the rating yourself if you think it is justified, although I personally feel that "mid" is appropriate.  Let me just say that at a practical level these ratings are virtually meaningless -- most readers don't see them and editors don't treat an article any differently as a result of them.  I personally have stopped paying any attention to them.  Regards, Looie496 (talk) 15:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  /* Chemotaxis */ added information on the specific Rac-GTPases of the Rho family and expended on their function in chemotaxis, supported by a source. Added a reference and a wikilink to Rac GTPases article. Rac GTPase article is a biochemistry stub, needs to be expended. MTRLQ (talk) 19:34, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

message: I suggest to expand the article's clinical significance subsetion on how neutrophils are parasitized by various infectious pathogens to exploit them for evasion of the immune system. Pathogens to mention:
* Leishmania major - source: 
* M. tuberculosis - source: 
* M. leprae - source: same as previous
* Yersinia pestis - source: 
* Chlamydia pneumoniae - source: same as previous
I'm surprised that such an important topic is not even discussed. I will link them myself if nobody objects. Thanks. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 12:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This is partly discussed under Phagocytosis. Some expansion would be useful but taking WP:WEIGHT into account. Graham Beards (talk) 13:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I've discovered that we have subsction on that over here: Phagocyte#Pathogen evasion and resistance; but I would like to be more specific. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 13:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I wrote that. Please go ahead but remember that the primary role of neutrophils is not as a host for parasites and bacteria. Graham Beards (talk) 14:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about role at all. It's about hidden chronic disease that resides inside immune cells. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 14:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
