Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs): Relevance to thrombosis and hemostasis. A narrative review

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are released by neutrophils and comprise web-like structures that play a vital role in fighting infections. NETs have also been involved in various thrombosis and hemostasis mechanisms. This review aims to outline the current understanding of NETs in these proce...

description Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are released by neutrophils and comprise web-like structures that play a vital role in fighting infections. NETs have also been involved in various thrombosis and hemostasis mechanisms. This review aims to outline the current understanding of NETs in these processes, their mechanisms of action, their clinical importance, and potential treatment strategies to counteract adverse events.
