At the frontline of the host defence response, neutrophil antimicrobial functions have
adapted to combat infections and injuries of different origins and magnitude. The release of …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) evolved to protect the host against microbial infections
and are formed by a web-like structure of DNA that is decorated with antimicrobial effectors …

Despite the advent of sophisticated and efficient new biologics to treat inflammation in
asthma, the disease persists. Even following treatment, many patients still experience the …

The widespread use of biomaterials to support or replace body parts is increasingly
threatened by the risk of implant‐associated infections. In the quest for finding novel anti …

As the focus of implantable biomaterials has shifted from bioinert implants to bioactive
designs, recent research has highlighted the complex interactions between cell physiologic …

Implant-associated infection (IAI) is increasingly emerging as a serious threat with the
massive application of biomaterials. Bacteria attached to the surface of implants are often …

In recent years, neutrophil extracellular traps at the forefront of neutrophil biology have
proven to help capture and kill pathogens involved in the inflammatory process. There is …

Neutrophils predominate the early inflammatory response to tissue injury and implantation of
biomaterials. Recent studies have shown that neutrophil activation can be regulated by …

The uses of implantable medical devices are safer and more common since sterilization
methods and techniques were established a century ago; however, device-associated …

Rationale: Infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus is associated with elevated neutrophil counts.
Evidence of neutrophil dysfunction in COVID-19 is based on transcriptomics or single …
