We explored how mechanical forcesโ€”specifically cyclic stretch and substrate stiffnessโ€”affect NETosis. We found that increased stretch and stiffness amplify NETosis and sensitivity to NET-inducing agents via activation of Calpain, PI3K, and FAK pathways.

These findings highlight the significant role of tissue mechanics in regulating immune responses. Understanding this could lead to novel therapeutic targets for treating chronic inflammatory conditions and preventing excessive coagulation.

Had the pleasure of meeting Prof Su-Yi Tsai today at National Taiwan University to discuss research and future collaborations. I also loved their innovative glove recycling system to help save the environment. #GreenLab Baker Institute
