A study published by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago describes a new method for analyzing pyroptosis — the process of cell death that is usually caused by infections and results in ...

Lung cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide. Although several new therapies have been developed for this disease, it has a poor ...

An “explosive” form of cell death, called pyroptosis, is part of the normal immune response to the toxins released by bacteria during an infection. But when the infection reaches the lungs, pyroptosis ...
