Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), Microparticles, and Thrombosis in IMHA

​Contributions to the body of literature on NETs, both in characterizing them for the first time in dogs and in evaluating their role in canine IMHA, have been made by several Board members, including Drs. Dana LeVine, Unity Jeffery, and Robert Goggs. These publications represent seminal works that fundamentally advance our knowledge of immune-mediated disease and neutrophil biology.
