Neutrophils are classified as a specific type of immune cell, as evidenced by their inclusion in the list of immune cells that release cytokines [1] and their role as key immune cells involved in phagocytosis [2]. Furthermore, they are identified as the initial immune cells to arrive during the inflammation phase of wound healing [3] and are subject to regulation by leptin alongside other immune cells [4].
