Abstract
Traditionally, neutrophils have been acknowledged to be the first immune cells that are recruited to an inflamed tissue and have mainly been considered in the context of acute inflammation. By contrast, their importance during chronic inflammation has been studied in less depth. This Review aims to summarize our current understanding of the roles of neutrophils in chronic inflammation, with a focus on how they communicate with other immune and non-immune cells within tissues. We also scrutinize the roles of neutrophils in wound healing and the resolution of inflammation, and finally, we outline emerging therapeutic strategies that target neutrophils.

Triggering and resolution of inflammation in NASH.

TL;DR: The authors comprehensively discuss the key factors that trigger hepatic inflammation, as well as the pathways involved in inflammation resolution, which help to design targeted therapies able to halt or reverse disease progression in NASH.

Heterogeneity of neutrophils

TL;DR: It is suggested that neutrophil heterogeneity is an important feature of immune pathophysiology, such that co-option of the mechanisms of diversification by cancer or other disorders contributes to disease progression.

The big five in fibrosis: Macrophages, myofibroblasts, matrix, mechanics, and miscommunication.

TL;DR: Understanding the mechanical and chemical state of the matrix and its effects on cellular processes will be essential to address diseases that are characterized by dysfunctional matrix, such as fibrosis.

Neutrophils as regulators of cardiovascular inflammation.

TL;DR: The influence of traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors on neutrophil production and function is discussed and the current knowledge of the contribution of neutrophils to the different stages of atherosclerosis, including atherogenesis, plaque destabilization and plaque erosion is appraised.

Identification of splenic reservoir monocytes and their deployment to inflammatory sites

TL;DR: It is shown that bona fide undifferentiated monocytes reside in the spleen and outnumber their equivalents in circulation and identifies splenic monocytes as a resource that the body exploits to regulate inflammation.

Immune attack: the role of inflammation in Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: As inflammation in AD primarily concerns the innate immune system — unlike in 'typical' neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and encephalitides — the concept of neuroinflammation in AD may need refinement.

Mrp8 and Mrp14 are endogenous activators of Toll-like receptor 4, promoting lethal, endotoxin-induced shock

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mice lacking Mrp8-Mrp14 complexes are protected from endotoxin-induced lethal shock and Escherichia coli–induced abdominal sepsis, indicating new inflammatory components that amplify phagocyte activation during sepsi upstream of TNFα–dependent effects.
