Neutrophil cells
The neutrophil granulocytes are a type of granulocyte found in the blood and lymphatic system, playing a key role in the body’s immune response. These cells belong to the group of white blood cells and are crucial in defending against pathogens. Neutrophils can be easily identified during microscopic examinations due to their characteristic staining, which helps professionals diagnose various immunological conditions. These granulocytes constitute about two-thirds of the white blood cells and primarily play a role in defense against bacteria. Their tasks include engulfing and breaking down pathogens, as well as releasing toxic substances that aid in the destruction of these pathogens. The normal values of neutrophil granulocytes can be…

Breast Cancer – The Role of a Protein in Healing
A cancers and their treatment options represent one of the most exciting areas of medicine. Research in recent decades has introduced new directions in understanding cancer diseases, particularly in the case of breast cancer. The scientific community is continuously searching for biomarkers and proteins that can help in understanding the behavior of cancer cells and in slowing the progression of the disease. A recent discovery focuses on a protein called ferroportin, which is responsible for iron transport in cells, and it may play a role in improving treatment options for breast cancer. Breast cancer and its prevalence Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and poses a significant…
