Excited to present our lab's preprint, exploring how neutrophils - the most abundant white blood cell - are influenced by organismal aging and biological sex! #neutrophils #sexdimorphism #aging

This is a new story developed at @USCLeonardDavis and led by Biology of Aging graduate student #RyanLu, which was developed thanks to a collaboration to awesome scientists and friends @KContrepois and #ShalinaTaylor at Stanford. 1/n
Neutrophils are unique because they can use their chromatin as a weapon to fight pathogens in a process termed 'NETosis'. They are extremely short-lived, surviving only ~6h after terminal differentiation, and have thus not been extensively studied throughout organismal aging. 2/n
