Neutrophil Extracellular Traps [PDF]
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are made of a network of extracellular strings of DNA that bind pathogenic microbes. Histones and several neutrophil granule proteins associated with the DNA framework damage entrapped microorganisms. Reactive oxygen species generated by the neutrophil NADPH oxidase have been shown to be essential to mediate NET ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) and Vasculitis [PDF]
Background: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in host immune responses. Attempts have been made to examine how NETs affect the pathogenesis of complications such as autoimmune and vascular disorders. Aim: This study aimed to explore the relationship between NETs and vasculitis.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) : formation and implications [PDF]
Neutrophils are cells of the immune system which freely circulate in blood vessels and are recruited to the inflammation sites when the human organism responds to microbial infections.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Orchestrate Necroinflammation [PDF]
In 1869, a young Swiss student who was interested in the study of the nuclei of cells succeeded in separating the nuclei from the cytoplasm of white blood cell from pus, which he obtained from discarded surgical bandages from the local surgical clinic.[1][1] He found that the nuclei were made of ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps — the dark side of neutrophils [PDF]
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were discovered as extracellular strands of decondensed DNA in complex with histones and granule proteins, which were expelled from dying neutrophils to ensnare and kill microbes. NETs are formed during infection in vivo by mechanisms different from those originally described in vitro. Citrullination of histones by

The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to immobilize pathogens represents a novel antimicrobial strategy of the immune system. The microcrystals related to human diseases are classified into endogenous microcrystals, including monosodium ...

Netosis in the pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases. In recent years, APS has been considered as an autoimmune thrombo-inflammatory disease.

Insights into pneumococcal pneumonia using lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia patients in The Gambia. [PDF]
We investigated the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia using clinical specimens collected for pneumonia surveillance in The Gambia. Lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs from 31 patients were examined by culture, qPCR, whole genome sequencing ...
