RAD51 stabilizes neutrophil extracellular traps to compartmentalize inflammation.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) feature a branched chromatin architecture whose origin and function remain unknown.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) feature a branched chromatin architecture whose origin and function remain unknown. We found that NET branching is mediated by RAD51, a protein generating DNA junctions during DNA recombination repair. Pharmacological inhibition, RAD51…
