Neutrophils drive vascular occlusion, tumour necrosis and metastasis - Nature Neutrophils actively induce tumour necrosis, driving vascular occlusion, pleomorphic necrosis and metastasis.

"(...) 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"

The ClostPath conferences, which began in 1995, have been a leading venue to bring together top scientists and clinicians studying the molecular biology of clostridia and their role in health and disease. In keeping with this tradition, Clostpath 14 will cover all aspects of clostridia-dependent pathogenesis and will take place September 1 - 4, 2025. The congress will open with a welcome word by Prof. Yasmine Belkaid, President of the Institut Pasteur, followed by an introducing keynote.
