Autoimmunity: Mitochondrial function in autoimmune disorders

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 126 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.13 Author: Jessica K. Edwards New research has helped unravel a link between mitochondria, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and inflammation in autoimmune disorders. Lood et al. found that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) could stimulate NETosis after mitochondrial activation by ribonucleoprotein immune complexes. Immune complex stimulation precipitated a
