The involvement of neutrophils in the lungs during the recovery phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not well defined mainly due to the limited accessibility of lung tissues from COVID-19 survivors. The lack of an appropriate small animal model has affected the development of effective therapeutic strategies. We here developed a long COVID mouse model to study changes in neutrophil phenotype and association with lung injury. Our data shows persistent neutrophil recruitment and neutrophil extracellular trap formation in the lungs for up to 30 days post-infection which correlates with lung fibrosis and inflammation.

The recent study from the Pogge von Strandmann group published in , by Alashkar Alhamwe ., combined for the first time the Cre-LoxP recombination system with single-cell sequencing. The group monitored the tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake and the EV functions in the recipient non-malignant cells in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model.

Backgrounds: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a disease entity comprising Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). VTE events increase the mortality rate of patients with cancer receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. Soluble P-Selectin, Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are risk factors associated with DVT in malignancy patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.

Background: The neutrophil-mediated generation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) results in an augmented inflammatory response and cellular tissue injury during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Through the analysis of public database information, we discovered and confirmed putative critical genes involved in NETs-mediated AMI.
Methods: The AMI dataset GSE66360 and the single-cell dataset GSE163465 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifaceted inflammatory skin condition characterized by the involvement of various cell types, such as keratinocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells. Research indicates that flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial in the management of AD. However, the investigation of the glycoside forms for anti-AD therapy is limited.

Amidst growing concerns over COVID-19 aftereffects like fatigue and cognitive issues, NRICM101, a traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promise. Used by over 2 million people globally, it notably reduces hospitalizations and intubations in COVID-19 patients. To explore whether NRICM101 could combat COVID-19 brain fog, we tested NRICM101 on hACE2 transgenic mice administered the S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2, aiming to mitigate S1-induced cognitive issues by measuring animal behaviors, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis.
