Antimicrobial Microwebs of DNA–Histone Inspired from Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
30 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are decondensed chromatin networks released by neutrophils that can trap and kill pathogens but can also paradoxically promote biofilms. The mechanism of NET functions remains ambiguous, at least in part, due to their complex and variable compositions. To unravel the antimicrobial performance of NETs, a minimalistic NET-like synthetic structure, termed "microwebs," is...
