Project Details
Description
The mechanisms or immunopathological pathways related to the development of post-COVID syndrome (PCS) are not fully known.
One of the mechanisms that could be associated with the maintenance of the inflammatory state after the SARS-CoV-2 infection is resolved is the NETosis process.
Therefore, the study of the extracellular traps of neutrophils-NETs could clarify, in part, the development of this syndrome.
In this way, the use of therapies that control NETosis and the recruitment of neutrophils for the management of SPC could be considered.
