Activation of neutrophil leukocytes is tightly regulated, and it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms of their response to physiological and pathological stimuli. Here authors show that the adhesion molecule G protein-coupled receptor 97 and its interaction partners play pivotal roles in neutrophil leukocyte activation both in anti-microbial response and in inflammatory diseases.
