Eosinophil Extracellular Traps and Inflammatory Pathologies—Untangling the Web!
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Eosinophils are an enigmatic white blood cell, whose immune functions are still under intense investigation. Classically, the eosinophil was considered to fulfill a protective role against parasitic infections, primarily large multicellular helminths ...

The Role of DNA in the Extracellular Environment: A Focus on NETs, RETs and Biofilms
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The capacity to actively release genetic material into the extracellular environment has been reported for bacteria, archaea, fungi, and in general, for microbial communities, but it is also described in the context of multicellular organisms, animals ...

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

Neutrophil extracellular traps in tissue pathology.
Histology and histopathology, 2016 Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are innate immune systems against invading pathogens. NETs are characterized as released DNA mixed with cytoplasmic antimicrobial proteins such as myeloperoxidase, proteinase3 and neutrophil elastase. While NETs are thought to have an important role in host defense, recent work has suggested that NETs contribute to

Neutrophil extracellular traps as the main source of eDNA
Studia Medyczne, 2017 Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like structures consisting of decondensed DNA together with accompanying proteins, including histones and antimicrobial peptides released from activated neutrophils as part of the first-line defence against ...
