The risk of early recurrent events after stroke remains high, especially in patients with atherosclerosis.

Neutrophil NETosis was identified as the main source of cell-free DNA. Neutralizing cell-free DNA or inhibiting inflammasome activation reduced stroke recurrence, highlighting new therapeutic targets to prevent early recurrent events >>
