Popis: Despite extensive characterization of the role of platelet activation and the coagulation cascade in acute ischemic stroke (AIS), few studies have analyzed the immune cell composition of AIS thrombi. Recent articles describing a function of neutrophil-derived extracellular nucleosomes (NETs) in thrombus formation9 highlight the great need for clinical immunohistologic analyses in acute vascular disease. In this issue of Neurology ®, Novotny et al.1 conduct a study comparing thrombus histology between AIS and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with a focus on the role of immune cells and NETs.
