Large NET networks formed by NLRP3 inflammasome activation, peptidylarginine deiminase 4, and neutrophil enzymes are central to disease pathogenesis across many chronic disorders.
- Why it matters: Chronic inflammation often begins locally and later spreads to distant organs, but the mechanisms linking early neutrophil activation to later organ involvement remain unclear.
- What they did: The perspective proposes a “seed and soil” model in which circulating primed neutrophils act as seeds that adhere to activated vessels, with susceptible organs as soil, and reviews mechanisms and supporting animal and human evidence for NET formation.
- The result: The hypothesis links NET biology to how inflammation may propagate from an initial site to distant tissues, guiding interpretation of animal and human findings on NET-driven disease.
