    <abstract locale="en_US">Sepsis-induced immunothrombosis is driven in part by dysregulated neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), yet existing therapies fail to adequately address the oxidative checkpoints that initiate this cascade.
&#xD;

This mechanistic Perspective proposes a paradigm shift toward dual-functional inorganic nanomedicine aimed at modulating both inflammation and coagulation. We discuss emerging evidence supporting a &#x201C;prevention-plus-clearance&#x201D; strategy employing PEGylated cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) surface-grafted with DNase I.
&#xD;

The inorganic core functions as a prolonged superoxide dismutase&#x2013;like redox buffer through the regenerative Ce&#xB3;&#x207A;/Ce&#x2074;&#x207A; cycle, thereby attenuating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dominant NETosis pathways rather than universally blocking NET formation. In parallel, the surface-immobilized DNase I facilitates enzymatic degradation of extracellular chromatin scaffolds. We hypothesize that this bio-inorganic combination may address the biphasic nature of sepsis pathogenesis by limiting NET initiation while promoting microvascular de-obstruction.
&#xD;

Finally, we outline a translational roadmap required to validate this &#x201C;circuit-breaker&#x201D; strategy in vivo, positioning the cerium&#x2013;NETosis axis as a promising frontier in the management of sepsis-associated coagulopathy.</abstract>
