摘要
Pyroptosis,an inflammatory form of programmed cell death,eliminates a niche where pathogens replicate,providing overall benefits to a host.When left uncontrolled,pyroptosis can lead to severe pathology.Overactive pyroptotic activation has been implicated in neuroinflammation,cardiovascular disease,acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),and many other diseases[1,2,3].Because of its multiple and permanent consequences,pyroptosis is a highly regulated signaling pathway.Major regulators of pyroptosis are NLR inflammasomes,which are activated by various“danger”signals such as ATP.
