Platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles inhibit platelet activation and neutrophil extracellular traps formation in acute lung injury by Xingyu Li, Zhaoxia Tang, Liangjian Kuang, Yongjian Wu, Xi Huang

“…Results Compared with red blood cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (RBC-NPs), PNPs significantly inhibited both platelet activation and NETs formation. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that NETs generation was markedly attenuated via CD62P signaling inhibition in platelets and mitochondrial ROS scavenging in neutrophils (using mito-TEMPO), and these treatments exhibited a suppression efficiency that was comparable to that of PNPs treatment. …”
