Airway mucins function as endogenous inhibitors of neutrophil extracellular traps

2026-05-18

Abstract excerpt

Neutrophils recruited to the airways are important for innate lung defense and can release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to capture and eliminate microbes. While NETs are not abundant in healthy airways, uncontrolled NETosis is a known pathological feature and contributor to both chronic and acute respiratory diseases. Prior studies have shown that mucin glycoproteins secreted in the oral cavity and cervic...
