The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAVs) are a
group of disorders involving severe, systemic, small-vessel vasculitis and are characterized …

Activated neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in response to a variety of
stimuli. NETosis is driven by protein-arginine deiminase type 4, with the release of …

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are net-like structures composed of DNA-histone
complexes and proteins released by activated neutrophils. In addition to their key role in the …

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) affects systemic
small vessels and is accompanied by the presence of ANCAs in the serum. This disease …

Neutrophils are primary effector cells of innate immunity and fight infection by phagocytosis
and degranulation. Activated neutrophils also release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) …

In addition to physical barriers, neutrophils are considered a part of the first line of immune
defense. They can be found in the bloodstream, with a lifespan of 6–8 h, and in tissue …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are fibrous networks which protrude from the
membranes of activated neutrophils. NETs are found in a variety of conditions such as …

Nearly 15 years after the first description of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), our
knowledge concerning this structure has expanded considerably. Initially, NETs were …

Background The propensity of the activated neutrophils to form extracellular traps (NETs) is
demonstrated in multiple inflammatory conditions. In this study, we investigated the roles of …

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) represents a group
of small vessel vasculitides characterized by granulomatous and neutrophilic tissue …
