Abstract
Neutrophil development is a tightly regulated, multistep process involving stem cell commitment, differentiation, and maturation in the bone marrow. Chromatin remodeling, transcriptional networks, epigenetic reprogramming, metabolic adaptations, and structural changes collectively govern neutrophil production, shaping both maturation states and functional potential. Although these processes can be leveraged to adapt the neutrophil pool quantitatively and qualitatively during homeostasis or inflammatory stress, their dysregulation often drives disease progression. In this review, we examine how these ontogenetic factors specify neutrophil functions and underscore the significance of functional diversity across different maturation states.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Hematology publishes new findings, methodologies, reviews and perspectives in all areas of hematology and immune cell formation on a monthly basis that may include Special Issues on particular topics of current interest. The overall goal is to report new insights into how normal blood cells are produced, how their production is normally regulated, mechanisms that contribute to hematological diseases and new approaches to their treatment. Specific topics may include relevant developmental and aging processes, stem cell biology, analyses of intrinsic and extrinsic regulatory mechanisms, in vitro behavior of primary cells, clonal tracking, molecular and omics analyses, metabolism, epigenetics, bioengineering approaches, studies in model organisms, novel clinical observations, transplantation biology and new therapeutic avenues.
