Blocking Stress Signals Could Limit Harmful Inflammation After Heart Attack

After a heart attack, the body rapidly floods the injured heart with neutrophils — white blood cells that help repair damage but can also make it worse when too many arrive too quickly. New research from the University of Oklahoma shows that these early-arriving cells come not from the bone marrow, as long believed, but from a hidden reserve along blood vessel walls. The discovery also identifies a potential way to limit their harmful surge.
