Neutrophils are critical effector cells in the immune system. They not only play crucial roles in pathogenic defense but are also able to modulate the function of other immune cells and consequently contribute to the immune response fate. The herein review is focused in neutrophil biology in a general perspective and its contribution to the course of immune mediated inflammatory diseases.
