Immunology for the Rheumatologist: NETs in Lupus

21 Jan 2025

Description

In this episode we explore the role of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Dr. Mariana Kaplan, Chief of the Systemic Autoimmunity Branch at the National Institute of Arthritis Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, joins the discussion to break down the complex immunological mechanisms driving lupus, focusing on the contribution of NETs and Low-Density Granulocytes (LDGs) to disease activity and tissue damage. The conversation delves into the potential for these biological markers to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies, particularly in the context of lupus flares and cardiovascular complications.
