Abstract
Neutrophils infiltrate diseased joints in rheumatoid arthritis in huge numbers and possess considerable potential to inflict the tissue dama ge that is characteristic of this disease. However, these cells are co mmonly overlooked by immunologists seeking new ways to treat disease p rogression. In this article, Steven Edwards and Maurice Hallett evalua te the role of neutrophils in disease pathology with the aim of re-awa kening interest in this important cell.
