Thrilled to share that neutrophils produce extra long fibrillar components named proteoglycofili or PGF. PGF are released by living neutrophils and do not contain DNA. They might look like NETs but are not NETs… www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Secreting bacteria undergo drastic changes. We found that in Yersinia, T3SS activation triggers rapid, large-scale reorganisation of chromosomal and plasmid DNA. This links secretion to growth inhibition-revealing a new connection between virulence and bacterial cell biology. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

#Abstract submissions are open for The #Shigella Meeting! If you would like to be considered for a #travel #grant, abstracts are due December 16, 2025. Regular submissions due January 14, 2026. Show us your #science! @shigellameeting.bsky.social 🦠 🧫🔬 #Microsky #IDsky

"(...) it is unclear whether NET-mediated vascular occlusion actively drives necrosis & how this in turn would affect metastasis. Here we examined how tumours become necrotic, not by passively outgrowing the nutrient supply but by actively altering haematopoiesis to favour intravasc. NET formation"
