This new web focus from Cell, Death & Differentiation highlights some of the latest research and thinking on a form of programmed cell death: programmed necrosis (necroptosis) from some of the world’s most recognised experts.

Necroptosis is a form of programmed cell death that depends on the activation of receptor interacting protein kinase-1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3 by receptors such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-1.

This focus reflects the current interest in this important and fast developing research area – an area which has strong potential to make a significant impact on the development of new treatments for multiple human diseases.
