Necroptosis and pyroptosis are two forms of programmed cell death with a common feature of plasma membrane rupture. Here we studied the morphology and mechanism of pyroptosis in comparison with ...

Why does pyroptosis take place? Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs during intracellular pathogen infection, as part of the body's antimicrobial response. Cell-surface receptors ...

Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory type of cell death that is associated with gasdermin-mediated membrane hole formation, as well as cell enlargement and lysis. Pyroptosis plays an important role in both ...

Promoting pyroptosis—an inflammatory form of programmed cell death—has become a promising treatment strategy for cancer. In research published in The FASEB Journal, investigators purified a long-chain ...

Cytokine release syndrome, a side effect of an immunotherapy used to treat leukemia and lymphoma, appears to be caused by the way the intervention kills the tumor cells, according to a mouse study ...
