NETosis: Immunity, Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Drug Development takes a focused approach to the clinical aspects of NETosis and drug development, bringing critical findings. Chapters introduce NETosis, consider mechanisms and antimicrobial strategies regulating NETosis, examine NETosis in neonates, explore the role of NETosis in autoimmunity, delve into NETosis and other diseases, and present therapeutic approaches for dysregulated NETosis. Since Brinkamm, et al, discovered an unrecognized neutrophil anti-microbial mechanism responsible for the extracellular killing of invading pathogens in 2004, the novel process in which nuclear chromatin de-condenses and DNA is ejected into the extra cellular environment, trapping and inactivating tissue pathogens has rapidly evolved. Presents an up-to-date and detailed analysis of NETosisBrings together critical findings on NETosis as a comparatively novel immune mechanismFocuses on the clinical aspects of NETosis that lead to drug developmentCovers the topic with a cogency and passion that is based on years of scientific research INDICE: 1.
