Hypoxia induces selective neutrophil degranulation to promote endothelial damage in COPD
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils are the key effector cells of innate immunity, rapidly recruited to defend the host against invading pathogens. They deploy pre-formed proteases packaged within cytoplasmic granules, generate reactive oxygen species and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, these anti-microbial strategies can also cause substantial bystander tissue injury. Infected and inflamed tissues are profoundly...
