Popis: Neutrophils mobilize rapidly and travel through the vasculature and microcirculation en masse in response to inflammatory stimuli. Here the authors use a microfluidic device and intravital microscopy to show neutrophils move through tissues in a highly ordered pattern, taking turns to file into alternate branches at bifurcations.
