Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular definitions of cell death subroutines: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2012

TL;DR: A functional classification of cell death subroutines is proposed that applies to both in vitro and in vivo settings and includes extrinsic apoptosis, caspase-dependent or -independent intrinsic programmed cell death, regulated necrosis, autophagic cell death and mitotic catastrophe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring cell death in higher eukaryotes

Lorenzo Galluzzi, +103 more
TL;DR: A nonexhaustive comparison of methods to detect cell death with apoptotic or nonapoptotic morphologies, their advantages and pitfalls is provided and the importance of performing multiple, methodologically unrelated assays to quantify dying and dead cells is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutting edge: NF-kappaB activating pattern recognition and cytokine receptors license NLRP3 inflammasome activation by regulating NLRP3 expression.

TL;DR: It is shown that cell priming through multiple signaling receptors induces NLRP3 expression, which is identified to be a critical checkpoint for NLRP2 activation and signals provided by NF-κB activators are necessary but not sufficient forNLRP3 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

AIM2 activates the inflammasome and cell death in response to cytoplasmic DNA

TL;DR: This study identifies AIM2 as an important inflammasome component that senses potentially dangerous cytoplasmic DNA, leading to activation of the ASC pyroptosome and caspase-1.
