Abstract

Neutrophils play a key role in inflammatory responses and thrombosis, but their complex interactions in disease pathogenesis are not fully understood. This review examines the multifaceted roles of neutrophils, focusing on their activation, cytokine release, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which contribute to host defense and thrombosis. We discuss the interaction between inflammation and coagulation, the direct effect of neutrophils on thrombus stability, and their involvement in pathological thrombotic diseases. The therapeutic potential of neutrophil drug loading in the treatment of thrombosis, as well as the clinical implications and future research directions, are highlighted. The aim of this review is to gain insight into the critical neutrophil–inflammation–thrombus axis and its potential as a therapeutic target for thrombotic diseases and to suggest possible directions for neutrophil-loaded drug therapy for thrombosis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The immune response to an implanted biomaterial is initiated by inflammation caused by surgery itself.

    “The immune response to an implanted biomaterial is initiated by the inflammation caused by surgery itself.”

    From Immune Response to Extracellular Matrix Bioscaffolds: A Comprehensive Review (2025) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Introduction describes inflammation and innate immune responses generally, while Section 5 discusses responses to injury and infection. Our copy does not address implanted biomaterials or say that surgery-induced inflammation initiates the immune response to an implant (searched for implanted biomaterial, surgery, and foreign-body response).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
