Nanoparticles containing intracellular proteins modulate neutrophil functional and phenotypic heterogeneity by Leonore Raudszus, Farbod Bahreini, Susanne Allan, Kai-Uwe Kalies, Charles C. Caldwell, Kathrin Kalies

“…While these processes ideally trigger healing and a return to balance, overshooting neutrophil function can lead to life-threatening infections such as sepsis or persistent inflammation observed in various autoimmune diseases.
