Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) and Covid-19: A new frontiers for therapeutic modality

TL;DR: In this paper , the potential role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and identifying the targeting drugs against NETs in Covid-19 patients was explored.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Autoimmunity and Allergy: Immune Complexes at Work.

TL;DR: Two autoimmune diseases in which NETs are undoubtedly major players are focused on, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the role of IC-induced NETs in these settings will pave the way for new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

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.

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.

Polarization of Tumor-Associated Neutrophil Phenotype by TGF-β: “N1” versus “N2” TAN

TL;DR: It is suggested that TGF-beta within the tumor microenvironment induces a population of TAN with a protumor phenotype, and depletion of these neutrophils significantly blunts antitumor effects of treatment and reduces CD8(+) T cell activation.

Platelet TLR4 activates neutrophil extracellular traps to ensnare bacteria in septic blood

TL;DR: It is proposed that platelet TLR4 is a threshold switch for this new bacterial trapping mechanism in severe sepsis, where NETs have the greatest capacity for bacterial trapping.

Extracellular DNA traps promote thrombosis

TL;DR: It is reported that NETs provide a heretofore unrecognized scaffold and stimulus for thrombus formation and may further explain the epidemiological association of infection with thrombosis.
