We've long wondered what gives NETs their branched architecture. We are excited to report that RAD51—a protein involved in DNA repair—promotes NET branching & stability, spatially restricting NETs to control type-2 inflammation. @crick.ac.uk www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

RAD51 stabilizes neutrophil extracellular traps to compartmentalize inflammation
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) feature a branched chromatin architecture whose origin and function remain unknown. We found that NET branching is mediated by RAD51, a protein generating DNA jun...
