Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Periodontitis [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Neutrophils are key cells of the immune system and have a decisive role in fighting foreign pathogens in infectious diseases. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) consist of a mesh of DNA enclosing antimicrobial peptides and histones that are released ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Microcrystals [PDF]
Journal of Immunology Research, 2017 Neutrophil extracellular traps represent a fascinating mechanism by which PMNs entrap extracellular microbes. The primary purpose of this innate immune mechanism is thought to localize the infection at an early stage.

Neutrophil extracellular traps go viral [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Neutrophils are the most numerous immune cells. Their importance as a first line of defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens is well described. In contrast, the role of neutrophils in controlling viral infections is less clear. Bacterial and fungal

Platelets and extracellular traps in infections
Platelets, 2021 Platelets have a well-recognized role in hemostasis and thrombosis, and they are important amplifiers of inflammation and innate immune responses. The formation of DNA extracellular traps (ETs) is a complex cellular mechanism, which occurs in response to

Neutrophil extracellular traps in cancer
MedCommNeutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which consist of chromatin DNA studded with granule proteins, are released by neutrophils in response to both infectious and sterile inflammation.

Neutrophil extracellular traps and long COVID
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Post-acute COVID-19 sequelae, commonly known as long COVID, encompasses a range of systemic symptoms experienced by a significant number of COVID-19 survivors. The underlying pathophysiology of long COVID has become a topic of intense research discussion.

Inflammasomes, neutrophil extracellular traps, and cholesterol [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2019 Activation of macrophage inflammasomes leads to interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 secretion and promotes atherosclerosis and its complications in mice and humans.

Phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular traps [PDF]
Faculty Reviews, 2020 Neutrophils are recruited rapidly to sites of infection in response to host- and/or microbe-derived proinflammatory molecules. At such sites, neutrophils phagocytose microbes and are activated to produce superoxide and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, neutrophils contain stores of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes that work in concert

Neutrophil extracellular traps [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 What are neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs? Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in humans, are the first line of defense against invading pathogens. They employ a wide array of anti-microbial strategies, most notably phagocytosis, to attack and eliminate pathogens.
