Chemokines are crucial inflammatory mediators needed during an immune response to
clear pathogens. However, their excessive release is the main cause of hyperinflammation …

Background: Cases of excessive neutrophil counts in the blood in severe coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) patients have drawn significant attention. Neutrophil infiltration was …

COVID‐19 is a pandemic disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 that mostly

A past history of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a risk factor for long-term respiratory
impairment. Post-TB lung dysfunction often goes unrecognised, despite its relatively high …

Severe acute lung injury has few treatment options and a high mortality rate. Upon injury,
neutrophils infiltrate the lungs and form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), damaging the …

Neutrophils dominate the early immune response in pathogen-induced acute lung injury, but
efforts to harness their responses have not led to therapeutic advancements. Neutrophil …

Neutrophils cast neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to defend the host against invading
pathogens. Although effective against microbial pathogens, a growing body of literature now …

Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells, which provide a complex and adaptive
module that ensures first-line defense against external toxics, irritants, antigens, and …

Respiratory viral infections represent the most common cause of allergic asthma
exacerbations. Amplification of the type-2 immune response is strongly implicated in asthma …
