In a recent Nature Reviews Immunology journal study, researchers assess the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. Study: Neutrophil ...
Neutrophils produce “spider webs” that trap invading bacteria and improve macrophages’ ability to phagocytose and kill harmful pathogens. A research team at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center ...
Treatment with investigational DNASE1L3 analog NTR-441, which degrades neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), resulted in rapid clinical improvement in a patient with treatment-refractory SLE ...
Research has found that, similar to a spider trapping its prey, the immune system’s neutrophil and macrophage cells can cooperate to capture and “eat” bacteria. Researchers at the Vanderbilt Institute ...
Like a spider trapping its prey, our immune system cells cooperate to capture and "eat" bacteria. The newly identified antibacterial mechanism, reported Sept. 10 in Science Advances, could inspire ...
A high resolution microscopic image of a neutrophil extracellular trap (NET). Neutrophils (colored green) are white blood cells that help the immune system fight off invaders. Neutrophils can commit ...
