ABSTRACT
Neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cells in the human body, are important immune cells responsible for the innate immune response. Neutrophils can migrate to inflammatory areas, such as tumor sites and infection sites, because of chemotaxis. Neutrophil-based nanomaterials, such as neutrophil-nanomaterial composites and neutrophil membrane-based nanomaterials, can help the drug or imaging agent gather in the inflammatory area with the help of chemotaxis. In addition, some nanomaterials can interfere with the function of neutrophils to treat tissue damage caused by excessive local accumulation of neutrophils. This review focuses on the interaction between nanomaterials and neutrophils as well as the applications of neutrophil-based nanomaterials and neutrophil-interfering nanomaterials.
