Extracellular traps, an ancient defense mechanism described in hemocytes of the tick Rhipicephalus microplus
This work investigates the existence of ETosis in tick hemocytes, representing a significant step toward understanding the tick's immune response. In addition to this contribution, new areas of research are emerging to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern this process, which we are currently exploring.
