Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are critical for the clearance of large pathogens and are also implicated in thrombosis, autoimmunity, and cancer. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Amulic et al. (2017) show that the terminally differentiated, non-cycling neutrophils repurpose cell-cycle proteins and pathways to form NETs.
