Webinar Series: NETosis Induction in Isolated Neutrophils

This video explains neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and their stimulation using PMA, a synthetic molecule. Dr. Andrew Retter breaks down a study where researchers observed the formation of NETs, indicated by DNA release correlating with H3.1, a key histone marker. The study divided the NET formation process into two phases: the first two hours, where nuclear decondensation occurs, and the period afterward, when DNA is expelled.
