Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Feature of NETosis in Chronic Granulomatous Disease and Its Impact on Renal Disorder
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency characterized by impaired phagocytic cells due to mutations in genes encoding the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase enzyme complex, leading to recurrent severe

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

M. Freire Lab. Netosis: NETosis related codes and experiments
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are a crucial host defense mechanism employed by neutrophils in response to various aggregates and contribute to pathology in diverse diseases, from chronic inflammation to sepsis. This protocol details the preparation of stimulated differentiated HL-60 cells with Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate followed by the ...

Auto-amplification and spatial propagation of neutrophil extracellular traps
The release of cellular DNA as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) plays a pivotal role in the immune response to pathogens by physically entrapping and killing microbes.

Sepsis Induces a Dysregulated Neutrophil Phenotype That Is Associated with Increased Mortality
Background. Neutrophil dysfunction in sepsis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiorgan failure; however, the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) remains uncertain.

Pneumocystis murina promotes inflammasome formation and NETosis during Pneumocystis pneumonia
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PjP) poses a serious risk to individuals with compromised immune systems, such as individuals with HIV/AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapies for cancer or solid organ transplants.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.
