DNA, histones and neutrophil extracellular traps exert anti-fibrinolytic effects in a plasma environment

In response to various inflammatory stimuli, neutrophils secrete neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), web-like meshworks of DNA, histones and granular components forming supplementary scaffolds in venous and arterial thrombi. Isolated DNA and histones are known to promote thrombus formation and re... View More
