Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by cigarette smoke activate plasmacytoid dendritic cells
Abstract
Background
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) represent a distinct strategy by which neutrophils trap, confine and eliminate invading microorganisms. Emerging evidence suggests that NETs exert a deleterious effect to the host in the absence of microbial stimuli. However, the role of NETs in smoking-related lung diseases remains to be elucidated.Objectives
To evaluate the formation of NETs in the context of chronic...Paper Details
