Emerging insights into molecular mechanisms underlying pyroptosis and functions of inflammasomes in diseases
17 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Pyroptosis is a form of necrotic and inflammatory programmed cell death, which could be characterized by cell swelling, pore formation on plasma membranes, and release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18).
