Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil extracellular traps kill bacteria

TL;DR: It is described that, upon activation, neutrophils release granule proteins and chromatin that together form extracellular fibers that bind Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, which degrade virulence factors and kill bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel cell death program leads to neutrophil extracellular traps

TL;DR: This novel ROS-dependent death allows neutrophils to fulfill their antimicrobial function, even beyond their lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor is essential for liver development

TL;DR: It is reported that mice lacking SF/HGF fail to complete development and die in utero, and the mutation affects the embryonic liver, which is reduced in size and shows extensive loss of parenchymal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Netting neutrophils in autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis.

TL;DR: It is shown that chromatin fibers, so-called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), are released by ANCA-stimulated neutrophils and contain the targeted autoantigens proteinase-3 and myeloperoxidase (MPO).
