Caption

The figure shows 2-dimensional intravital microscopy images of the inflamed cremaster muscle of a mouse, revealing neutrophils in motion (green) and their interaction with platelets (red). Neutrophils were treated with vehicle (saline) or one of the beta-blockers included in the study: metoprolol, atenolol, or propranolol. Arrows indicate neutrophil interactions with the platelet through the protruding pseudopod (yellow), and discontinuous lines trace neutrophil trajectories over 60s.
