Abstract:
Macrophage extracellular traps(METs)are extracellular fibrous web-like structures produced by macro-phages.Under physiological conditions,METs capture and kill microorganisms by releasing high concentrations of granular proteins,serving as an innate immune defense mechanism and playing a vital protective role in resisting the progression of inflammatory diseases.Excessive release of METs can also exacerbate the inflammatory response and cause further tissue damage.
