Figure.1. The interplay between NETs and platelets. NETs promote thrombosis by favouring fibrin deposition. Recently, a notion has been added by showing that NETs can express tissue factor further triggering thrombin generation and platelet activation and finally increasing the thrombogenic potential of NETs. This was reported especially at the site of plaque rupture during acute myocardial infarction when platelets and neutrophils interact with each other. In this view, activated platelets present HMGB1 to neutrophils and stimulate them to form NETs
