Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Sp3-cificity of TNF-α expression promotes the Smac mimetic-mediated killing of cancer cells
A genome-wide small-interfering RNA-based screen identified the transcription factor Specificity Protein 3 (SP3) as a critical factor for Second mitochondrial-derived activator of caspase (Smac) mimetic-mediated killing of cancer cells.

RIPK1 protects from TNF-α-mediated liver damage during hepatitis [PDF]
Cell death of hepatocytes is a prominent characteristic in the pathogenesis of liver disease, while hepatolysis is a starting point of inflammation in hepatitis and loss of hepatic function.

Targeting RIPK1 kinase for modulating inflammation in human diseases
Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a master regulator of TNFR1 signaling in controlling cell death and survival. While the scaffold of RIPK1 participates in the canonical NF-κB pathway, the activation of RIPK1 kinase ...

Mitochondrial permeabilization engages NF-κB-dependent anti-tumour activity under caspase deficiency [PDF]
Apoptosis represents a key anti-cancer therapeutic effector mechanism. During apoptosis, mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) typically kills cells even in the absence of caspase activity.

Discovery of a cooperative mode of inhibiting RIPK1 kinase
RIPK1, a death domain-containing kinase, has been recognized as an important therapeutic target for inhibiting apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammation under pathological conditions.

Increasing evidence suggests a pivotal role of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), an initiator of necroptosis, in neuroinflammation. However, the precise role of RIPK1 in microglial activation remains unclear.

Cytokine tuning of intestinal epithelial function [PDF]
The intestine serves as both our largest single barrier to the external environment and the host of more immune cells than any other location in our bodies.

ABIN-1 heterozygosity sensitizes to innate immune response in both RIPK1-dependent and RIPK1-independent manner [PDF]
ABIN-1 (encoded by the gene Tnip1) is a ubiquitin-binding protein that can interact with ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 (encoded by the gene TNFAIP3) to restrain the activation of necroptosis and NF-κB activation. Genetic variants in the genes Tnip1 and TNFAIP3 are both strongly associated with susceptibility to autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases ...

Preventing necroptosis by scavenging ROS production alleviates heat stress-induced intestinal injury
Background Worldwide heat stroke incidence has increased in recent years and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is critical to identify mechanisms that mediate heat stroke.
