Casting NETs for microbes
E ven death doesn't stop a neutrophil from battling pathogens, as Fuchs et al. report on page 231. The infection-fi ghting cells often launch a neutrophil extracellular trap (NET), a mesh of DNA and enzymes that snares and kills bacteria and fungi. The authors show that NET release involves a unique type of cellular self-sacrifi ce and depends on reactive oxygen species (ROS). The standard way ...
متن کاملCasting polymer nets to optimize noisy molecualr codes
Life relies on the efficient performance of molecular codes, which relate symbols and meanings via error-prone molecular recognition. We describe how optimizing a code to withstand the impact of molecular recognition noise may be understood from the statistics of a two-dimensional network made of polymers. The noisy code is defined by partitioning the space of symbols into regions according to ...
متن کاملSocial amoebae trap and kill bacteria by casting DNA nets
Extracellular traps (ETs) from neutrophils are reticulated nets of DNA decorated with anti-microbial granules, and are capable of trapping and killing extracellular pathogens. Various phagocytes of mammals and invertebrates produce ETs, however, the evolutionary history of this DNA-based host defence strategy is unclear. Here we report that Sentinel (S) cells of the multicellular slug stage of ...

متن کاملCasting wider nets for anxiety and depression: disability-driven cross-diagnostic subtypes in a large cohort.
BACKGROUND In search of empirical classifications of depression and anxiety, most subtyping studies focus solely on symptoms and do so within a single disorder. This study aimed to identify and validate cross-diagnostic subtypes by simultaneously considering symptoms of depression and anxiety, and disability measures. METHOD A large cohort of adults (Lifelines, n = 73 403) had a full assessme...
