Necroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that results from MLKL-mediated disruption of the cell membrane. In this issue of Cell, Gong et al. challenge the notion that MLKL activation is a point of no return by identifying mechanisms to counterbalance necroptosis, sustain plasma membrane integrity, and prolong cell viability.
细胞程序性坏死是一种由 MLKL 介导的细胞膜破坏而导致的高度炎症形式的细胞死亡。在本期《细胞》杂志中,龚等人通过鉴定对抗细胞程序性坏死的机制,维持质膜完整性并延长细胞存活时间,挑战了 MLKL 激活是一个不可逆转的观点。
