Hematological analyses are commonly used to evaluate fish health and welfare in
aquaculture, veterinary practice and scientific research. Hematological parameters were …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are made of processed chromatin bound to granular
and selected cytoplasmic proteins. NETs are released by white blood cells called …

Selenium (Se) deficiency and poor plasma Se levels can cause cardiovascular diseases by
decreasing selenoprotein levels. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) may be the vicious …

Abstract The Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's
Disease (CD) are characterised by chronic non-resolving gut mucosal inflammation …

While the mammalian macrophage phenotypes have been intensively studied in vitro, the
dynamic of their phenotypic polarization has never been investigated in live vertebrates. We …

Neutrophils are one of the main types of effector cell in the innate immune system and were
first shown to effectively kill microorganisms by phagocytosis more than 100 years ago …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are beneficial antimicrobial defense structures that can
help fight against invading pathogens in the host. However, recent studies reveal that NETs …

Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to inflammatory sites where their coordinated migration
forms clusters, a process termed neutrophil swarming. The factors that modulate early …

The first leukocytes that arise in the development of vertebrate embryos are the primitive
macrophages, which differentiate in the yolk sac and then quickly invade embryonic tissues …

All eukaryotic organisms, single-celled or multi-cellular, produce a diverse array of natural
anti-infective agents that, in addition to conventional antimicrobial peptides, also include …
