The currently applied cut-off value of <10 leukocytes per high power field (HPF) might, however, be too high, according to the authors. Ali Tekin and colleagues from Istanbul, Turkey, assert that ...

Objectives Radiolabelled leukocytes are useful for the imaging of inflammation and infection. Typically 111In and 99mTc-HMPAO are used for radiolabeling of leukocytes. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is ...

Beyond cell-autonomous neuronal injury and death, light has been shed on multiple inflammatory properties of glia and invading leukocytes in most brain diseases. Novel knowledge has been fuelled by ...

Increased platelet activation results in up-regulation of specific binding to leukocytes which promotes pro-inflammatory leukocyte secretion and their tethering to endothelium, a mechanism that has ...
