    Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play dual roles in pulmonary diseases, contributing to both immune defense and tissue damage.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 1,539 articles from 561 journals on NETs and pulmonary diseases from 2006 to 2025 using bibliometric methods.

  • 3

    Research on NETs and pulmonary diseases has shown significant growth, particularly after 2019, peaking in 2022.

  • 4

    China and the United States are the leading contributors to research in this domain, with Mark R. Looney as a core author.

  • 5

    Key research topics have shifted from fundamental mechanisms to issues like pulmonary inflammation, COVID-19, and biomarkers.
