PANoptosis: a new insight for oral diseases.

PANoptosis, a burgeoning area of research, is a unique type of programmed cell death typified by pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, yet it defies singular classification by any one mode of death. The assembly and activation of PANoptosomes are pivotal processes in PANoptosis, with several PANoptosomes already identified. Linkages between PANoptosis and the pathophysiology of various systemic illnesses are established, with increasing recognition of its association with oral ailments. This paper aims to deepen understanding by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the molecular pathways driving PANoptosis and exploring its potential implications in oral diseases.
