Start-Stop-Mechanism of neutrophil swarms

Individual neutrophils attract more cells to initiate the formation of a neutrophil swarm and cluster in living mouse tissue. Snapshots of a 30 minutes time sequence are shown. Individual neutrophils (multicolored), neutrophil clusters (red), and structural components of the mouse skin (blue) are displayed.
