Casting a wide NET: an update on uncontrolled NETosis in response to COVID-19 infection

Abstract Dysregulation of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation has been shown to mediate disease pathology in multiple viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2. At the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, Thierry and Roch wrote a perspective on the mechanisms by which severe SARS-CoV-2 infection m...

Summary:Abstract Dysregulation of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation has been shown to mediate disease pathology in multiple viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2. At the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, Thierry and Roch wrote a perspective on the mechanisms by which severe SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to uncontrolled NET formation that leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), systemic vascular permeability, and end organ damage. In this commentary, the progress that has been made in regards to the ideas postulated by the perspective will be discussed, with a focus on the therapeutics that target NET formation.
