The process of apoptosis in neutrophils. The process of regulating the proliferation and elimination of neutrophils such that the total number of neutrophils within a whole or part of an organism is stable over time in the absence of an outside stimulus. The process of apoptosis in myeloid cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of neutrophil apoptosis. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of a neutrophil apoptosis. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. The process of regulating the proliferation and elimination of myeloid cells such that the total number of myeloid cells within a whole or part of an organism is stable over time in the absence of an outside stimulus. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of neutrophil apoptosis.
