Srinagar, May 26 -- In a groundbreaking discovery that bridges immunology and chronobiology, scientists at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, have unveiled a vital link between daylight exposure and the body's ability to fight infection. The research focuses on neutrophils, the most abundant type of white blood cell, and uncovers how the natural circadian rhythms influenced by daylight can boost their infection-fighting prowess. Neutrophils act as the first line of defense in our immune system. These fast-moving immune cells are often the first to reach sites of infection, where they work quickly to engulf and destroy invading bacteria. What this new research shows is that their effectiveness isn't constant throughout the day-it...
