Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterised by increased neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis) and, consequently, increased thrombotic events. Here Ali et al. show that treatment with adenosine receptor agonists suppresses NETosis and venous thrombosis in mouse models of antiphospholipid syndrome.
