Live Imaging and Quantification of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation [PDF]
Current Protocols, 2021 AbstractNeutrophilExtracellular Trap (NET) formation (NETosis) is a unique process that occurs in response to numerous stimuli. To investigate NETosis, we created a method that can be used easily without the need for complex programming abilities and commercial software packages.

MicroRNAs as New Regulators of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are formed after neutrophils expelled their chromatin content in order to primarily capture and eliminate pathogens. However, given their characteristics due in part to DNA and different granular proteins, NETs may induce a procoagulant response linking inflammation and thrombosis.

Nucleosomes and neutrophil extracellular traps in septic and burn patients [PDF]
, 2017 NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1

Influences of chloride and hypochlorite on neutrophil extracellular trap formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The release by neutrophils of DNA-based extracellular traps (NETs) is a recently recognized innate immune phenomenon that contributes significantly to control of bacterial pathogens at tissue foci of infection.

Neutrophil extracellular trap formation in supragingival biofilms
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2015 Oral biofilms are the causative agents of the highly prevalent oral diseases periodontitis and caries. Additionally, the host immune response is thought to play a critical role in disease onset. Neutrophils are known to be a key host response factor to bacterial challenge on host surfaces.

Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps under Low Oxygen Level [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Since their discovery, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been characterized as a fundamental host innate immune defense mechanism. Conversely, excessive NET-release may have a variety of detrimental consequences for the host. A fine balance between NET formation and elimination is necessary to sustain a protective effect during an infectious ...
