The Pathophysiological Role of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Inflammatory Diseases
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Neutrophil pathogen-killing mechanism termed neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been recently identified. NETs consist of chromatin and histones along with serine proteases and myeloperoxidase and are induced by a great variety of infectious and non-infectious stimuli. NETosis is a kind of programmed neutrophil death characterized by chromatin decondensation and release of nuclear granular...
