Neutrophils sense microbial size and selectively release neutrophil extracellular traps in response to large pathogens

Neutrophils are critical for antifungal defense, but the mechanisms that clear hyphae and other pathogens that are too large to be phagocytosed remain unknown. We show that neutrophils sense microbial size and selectively release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in response to large pathogens,...
