OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
'Granulopoiesis: a daily balancing act' by Dr Lai Guan Ng

Neutrophils are specialized cells of the early innate immune response that require constant replenishment from proliferative bone marrow (BM) precursors due to their short half-life. While it is well established that neutrophils are derived from the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (GMP), the differentiation pathways from GMP to functional mature neutrophils are poorly defined. A long-standing question in the field of neutrophil research is whether a distinct subset of these cells truly exists, or different populations are merely a manifestation of the neutrophil maturation/polarization state. In comparison to other myeloid cell types such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, lineage tracing experiments have been performed extensively to delineate distinct subsets of these cells; very little has been done for neutrophils. This talk will provide an overview of recent developments on this topic and discuss how in-depth analysis of physiological and pathological granulopoiesis by advanced –omics and multiparametric technologies can contribute to better understanding neutrophil subsets discover new functions.
