Abstract
Innate immunity and blood coagulation are evolutionary entangled in an intricate network of molecular and cellular interactions, thus forming an integral part of the host‐defense system [1]. Polymorphonuclear cells, in particular neutrophils, are essential for the primary innate immune response against local and systemic infections or tissue injury [2], but are also major cellular mediators supporting inflammation–coagulation interactions [3]. Upon inflammation, multiple chemotactic stimuli (cytokines, chemokines, etc.) are released to promote neutrophil activation, extravazation and migration towards the infectious foci.
