Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Nucleic Acid Scaffolds (NET DNA)

Target
NET DNA
Molecular classification
Nucleic Acid, Chromatin, Extracellular Matrix Component
01

Overview

Neutrophil extracellular trap nucleic acid scaffolds are chromatin-based networks extruded by activated neutrophils that serve both protective roles in pathogen clearance and potentially harmful roles in inflammation-driven diseases. Their unique structure—a combination of decondensed genomic DNA decorated with potent antimicrobial proteins—makes them central players at the intersection between innate immunity and immunopathology.
