Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Wound Healing of Diabetes: Mechanisms, Inducers, and Therapeutic Implications

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Wound healing damage, especially diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). New evidence shows that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are the key factor of this pathology. This review summarizes the literature from 2015 to 2024 to clarify the mechanism of NETs and its harmful effects on diabetes wounds.

Barriers to the National Onchocerciasis Control Programme at operational level in Cameroon: a qualitative assessment of stakeholders’ views

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The global burden of onchocerciasis is the heaviest in sub-Saharan Africa. Studies have shown the importance of the role of Community-Directed Distributors (CDDs) and nurses in onchocerciasis control, but little is known about their experience

Repurposing of Anti-Infectives for the Management of Onchocerciasis Using Machine Learning and Protein Docking Studies

Bioinformatics and Biology Insights
There is a need to improve the discovery of new drugs for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as the lack of financial incentives has slowed their development. Currently, ivermectin and moxidectin are used in the management of onchocerciasis.

Onchocerciasis is not a major cause of blindness in two endemic villages in Sierra Leone

BMC Research Notes
Objective Sierra Leone, a country where onchocerciasis is endemic in 14 of the 16 districts, was the focus of our investigation. Despite 17 rounds of annual ivermectin treatment since 2005, a report circulated by a local politician indicated an increase ...
