ABSTRACT
A unique cell death called ETosis has been recently described. Neutrophils, mast cells and eosinophils creates a unique web-like structure outside the cell. These webs, initially named extracellular traps (ETs), ensnare and kill microorganisms. This paper present a brief review of extracellular traps formation and their visualization.
