Switching immune cells to “night mode” could limit damage after a heart attack, study suggests

Rockefeller University Press
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have identified a way to suppress the daily fluctuations in the activity of key immune cells known as neutrophils. The study, to be published December 12 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), suggests that inhibiting these fluctuations could prevent neutrophils from causing excessive tissue damage during daylight hours, a phenomenon that may underlie the fact that heart attacks in the early morning are more damaging than heart attacks suffered at night.
