Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and DNases Orchestrate Formation of Peritoneal Adhesions

iScience, 2023
Peritoneal adhesions are poorly understood but highly prevalent conditions that can cause intestinal obstruction and pelvic pain requiring surgery. While there is consensus that stress-induced inflammation triggers peritoneal adhesions, the molecular processes of their formation still remain elusive.

Simvastatin Restores Uteroplacental Hemodynamics and Trophoblast Function in Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome in a Placenta‐on‐a‐Chip Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Simvastatin mitigates placental hypoperfusion in OAPS by ameliorating abnormal uteromaternal hemodynamics and enhancing trophoblast invasion via optimized endothelial cell interactions under pathological shear stress, as evidenced by results from a placenta‐on‐a‐chip platform.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Drive Kidney Stone Formation

Kidney Diseases
Introduction: This study aims to explore the contribution of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to kidney stones. Methods: The microarray data from GSE73680 and bioinformatic analysis were applied to identify differentially expressed genes in patients with kidney stones.

miR-146a is a pivotal regulator of neutrophil extracellular trap formation promoting thrombosis

Haematologica, 2020
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) induce a procoagulant response linking inflammation and thrombosis. Low levels of miR-146a, a brake of inflammatory response, are involved in higher risk of cardiovascular events, but the mechanisms explaining how miR-

Mechanisms and disease relevance of neutrophil extracellular trap formation [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2018
AbstractWhile the microscopic appearance of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has fascinated basic researchers since its discovery, the (patho)physiological mechanisms triggering NET release, the disease relevance and clinical translatability of this unconventional cellular mechanism remained poorly understood.

Hybrid Nanofibers for Multimodal Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fabrication of wound healing scaffolds based on biocompatible nanofibers. Nanofibers offering high surface area, flexibility, and biocompatibility significantly improved the healing outcome in vivo. Histological, immunological, and anti‐inflammatory markers are noticeably better in treated wounds.

Medical Fabrics with Non‐Antibiotic, Supramolecular Antimicrobial Coatings: A Preventive Approach to Combat Biofilm Formation and Bacterial Dissemination

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents an antibiotic‐free strategy using medical fabrics coated with supramolecular assemblies of polyarginine and hyaluronic acid. These coatings showed strong antimicrobial and anti‐biofilm activity in vitro and in vivo, achieving major bacterial load reductions, including against MRSA.

Regulation of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation by Anti-Inflammatory Drugs [PDF]

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2013
The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a newly described phenomenon that increases the bacteria-killing ability and the inflammatory response of neutrophils. Because NET generation occurs in an inflammatory microenvironment, we examined its regulation by anti-inflammatory drugs.

Zinc‐Containing Bioactive Glass Programs Macrophage Polarization through Extracellular Traps Regulation for Enhanced Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Zinc‐containing bioactive glass (ZnBG) promotes diabetic wound healing by regulating macrophage extracellular traps (METs). Specifically, ZnBG reduces oxidative stress and inhibits the PAD4 and NLRP3/caspase‐1/GSDMD signaling pathways, thereby suppressing MET formation.
