Effect of Adhesion and Substrate Elasticity on Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Effect of Adhesion and Substrate Elasticity on Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells. Upon stimulation, they are able to decondense and release their chromatin as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). This process (NETosis) is part of immune defense mechanisms but also plays an important role in many chronic and inflammato...
