Extracellular DNA may serve as marker in liquid biopsies to determine individual diagnosis
and prognosis in cancer patients. Cell death or active release from various cell types …

Mast cells (MCs) are critically involved in microbial defense by releasing antimicrobial
peptides (such as cathelicidin LL-37 and defensins) and phagocytosis of microbes. In past …

Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is a blood monocyte morphological parameter that can
be easily detected by an automated hemocyte analyzer and can provide clinicians with …

Extracellular DNA traps (ETs) are evolutionarily conserved antimicrobial mechanisms
present in protozoa, plants, and animals. In this review, we compare their similarities in …

Bacterial infestation of the male reproductive system with subsequent effects of bacteria on
the structural integrity and functional activity of male gametes has become a significant factor …

In cattle, clinical and subclinical inflammation in the bovine female reproductive tract (FRT)
significantly reduces fertility. PMN participate in this FRT-associated inflammation by …

The self-limiting nature of the inflammatory flare is a feature of gout. The effects of neutrophil
extracellular traps (NETs) on gout have remarkably attracted researchers' attention …

Deposition of sperm during artificial insemination in the bovine female reproductive tract
results in early host innate immune reactions of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) …

Infertility is a public health concern worldwide. Asthenozoospermia is a common cause of
male infertility and is characterized by decreased motility. Sperm motility ensures that sperm …

Bacterial colonization of male reproductive tissues, cells, and fluids, and the subsequent
impact of bacteria on the sperm architecture, activity, and fertilizing potential, has recently …
