How Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Become Visible by Nicole de Buhr, Maren von Köckritz-Blickwede

“…NETs are characterized as released nuclear DNA associated with histones and granule proteins, which form an extracellular web-like structure that is able to entrap and occasionally kill certain microbes. Furthermore, NETs have been shown to contribute to several noninfectious disease conditions when released by activated neutrophils during inflammation. …”

Defensive Driving: Directing HIV-1 Vaccine-Induced Humoral Immunity to the Mucosa with Chemokine Adjuvants by Ebony N. Gary, Michele A. Kutzler

“…Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALTs) consist of a complex network of immune organs and tissues that orchestrate the interaction between the host, commensal microbes, and pathogens at these surfaces. This complexity necessitates strict control of the entry and exit of lymphocytes in the MALT. …”

Relationship between clay minerals and microorganisms in underground hydrogen storage reservoirs: a mini review by Allison Clark, Shikha Sharma

“…However, microorganisms in the subsurface, particularly hydrogenotrophic species, interact with clay minerals in ways that can affect the integrity of these storage systems. Microbes form biofilms on clay surfaces, which can cause pore clogging and reduce the permeability of the reservoir, potentially stabilizing H2 storage and limiting injectivity. …”

The intestinal microbiome as a separate organ by Yu. O. Shulpekova

“…Interaction of bacteria with the «host» reminds cooperation of usual cells and can be carried out due to receptor binding, paracrine and humoral pathways, as well as due to phagocytosis and endocytosis. Microbes produce hormone-like substances, analogues of growth factors and neurotransmitters that determine two-way interaction of microflora with the central nervous system and its active metabolic role. …”

Gut microbiota influence on lung cancer risk through blood metabolite mediation: from a comprehensive Mendelian randomization analysis and genetic analysis by Yizhao Du, Qin Wang, Zongmei Zheng, Hailun Zhou, Yang Han, Ao Qi, Lijing Jiao, Lijing Jiao, Yabin Gong

“…The study also explored the association between specific host genes and the abundance of gut microbes in LC patients.ResultsThe presence of Bacteroides clarus was associated with an increased risk of LC (odds ratio [OR] = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03–1.11, p = 0.012), whereas the Eubacteriaceae showed a protective effect (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.75–0.89, p = 0.001). …”
