Abnormal Antimicrobial Traps in Lesions May Be Linked to AAV Development, Study Says
Abnormal antimicrobial traps found in inflammatory lesions from ANCA-associated vasculitis patients might be correlated with disease development, a study suggests. The study, “The formation and disordered degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps in necrotizing lesions of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis,” was published in The American Journal of Pathology.
