TLDR
The discovery of caspase-11/4/5 function in sensing intracellular lipopolysaccharide expands the spectrum of pyroptosis mediators and also reveals that pyroPTosis is not cell type specific.

Chemotherapy drugs induce pyroptosis through caspase-3 cleavage of a gasdermin

TL;DR: It is shown that GSDME, which was originally identified as DFNA5 (deafness, autosomal dominant 5), can switch caspase-3-mediated apoptosis induced by TNF or chemotherapy drugs to pyroptosis, suggesting that casp enzyme activation can trigger necrosis by cleaving G SDME and offer new insights into cancer chemotherapy.

Caspase-1-induced pyroptosis is an innate immune effector mechanism against intracellular bacteria (111.33)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activation of caspase-1 clears intracellular bacteria in vivo independently of IL-1β and IL-18 and establishes pyroptosis as an efficient mechanism of bacterial clearance by the innate immune system.

Delineating Immune-Mediated Mechanisms Underlying Hair Follicle Destruction in the Mouse Mutant Defolliculated

TL;DR: R reverse transcriptase-PCR and immunohistochemistry of sebaceous gland differentiation markers revealed reduced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), a potential cause of reduced sebum production, as well as the potential involvement of the innate immune system in the hair loss.

A p.C343S missense mutation in PJVK causes progressive hearing loss.

TL;DR: It is determined that mutations in PJVK are not a common cause of Hearing loss in families with moderate to severe hearing loss in Pakistan and pinpoints an important residue for PJVk function.
