Pyroptosis drives tumor progression and immune evasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a single-cell and spatial transcriptomic study
20 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by inflammasome activation and the release of inflammatory cytokines, which induce a strong immune response. Unlike apoptosis, pyroptosis can elicit potent immune stimulation, potentially playing a crucial role in anti-tumor immunity. However, it may also promote tumor progression by altering the tumor microenvironment and facilitating immune...
