Abstract excerpt
Taxol has been widely used as a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, acquired drug resistance has caused great difficulties in clinical treatment. Pyroptosis is a newly discovered programmed cell death pathway, and Caspase-1 and gasdermin D (GSDMD) play key roles in driving canonical pyroptosis. Increasing evidence suggests that pyroptosis is...
