Jim Hoffman: Could Extracorporeal Removal of NETs Become a ‘Holy Grail’ Therapy Across Multiple Diseases?
Jim Hoffman, Former Technical Advisor at Cygnus Technologies, LLC, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Michal Santocki and Elzbieta Kolaczkowska, published in Cells:
“Could extracorporeal removal of NETs and other extracellular chromatin outperform many drug treatments with the potential to be a holy grail treatment for multiple diseases and disorders, slowing their progression and aiding recovery, largely free of systemically administered drug-related side effects?
Recent evidence, courtesy of Santersus AG, treating severe Lupus, and backed by over two decades of NETosis research, suggests we should pay much more attention to the universal potential of this therapy to transform disease management, since dysregulated NETosis contributes to the progression of most, if not all, diseases.”
