Red blood cell (RBC) lysis can cause morbidity and mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying RBC lysis are not fully characterized, limiting therapeutic options. In this issue of Cell, Chen et al. identify a crucial role for the NLRP3-ASC-caspase-8 complex in driving programmed lytic cell death in RBCs.
红细胞(RBC)裂解可导致发病和死亡。然而,红细胞裂解背后的分子机制尚未完全明确,这限制了治疗选择。在本期《细胞》杂志中,陈等人确定了NLRP3-ASC-半胱天冬酶-8复合物在驱动红细胞程序性裂解细胞死亡中的关键作用。
