Summary: Intestinal epithelial cells have rapid turnover and are maintained by different forms of cell death mechanisms. In inflammation, p31-43 can activate multiple cell death pathways, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.

Summary: Gout is a chronic inflammatory arthritis disease characterized by hyperuricemia and triggered by interactions among various factors. Recent studies have shown that multiple programmed cell death pathways are involved in the inflammatory response, contributing to the initiation of inflammation.

Summary: This paper proposes a new perspective on the regulation of programmed cell death (PCD) in developing systems based on epigenetics. It challenges the traditional view that PCD is solely controlled by specific gene-encoded signals, arguing that the signals and local tissue interactions responsible for embryonic tissue growth and differentiation play a significant role in PCD. The study suggests that cells retain an epigenetic profile sensitive to DNA damage, resulting in their subsequent elimination.

Summary: This study uncovered the role of TRIM34 in regulating IAV-induced programmed cell death by mediating the K63-linked polyubiquitination of ZBP1. The interaction between TRIM34 and ZBP1 protected mice from inflammatory responses and epithelial damage during IAV infection. Higher levels of ZBP1 were found to correlate with increased proinflammatory cytokines in IAV-infected patients.

Summary: This study demonstrates the critical role of RIP3 amyloid formation in Necroptosis signaling, while the interaction with M45 also plays a regulatory role in cell death. The ordered inter-filament assembly of RIP3 is crucial in RIP3 amyloid-mediated kinase activation and cell necroptosis.

Summary: Cell death is a normal and essential component of development and homeostasis, but dysregulation of this process underlies most human diseases. Autophagy is a process mediated by the formation of double membrane vesicles, which allows cells to survive stresses and may also mediate cell death during development and pathogenesis.

Summary: Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly aggressive cancer arising from the bile ducts. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of programmed cell death mechanisms in its development and progression. Targeting these cell death pathways may increase the susceptibility of cholangiocarcinoma cells to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, further research is necessary to fully understand the intricacies of programmed cell death in cholangiocarcinoma and potentially identify effective therapeutic strategies.

Summary: Cell death is a crucial part of infectious and sterile inflammatory reactions, with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) being a special form of lytic cell death. Recent research shows significant crosstalk between different cell death pathways, particularly apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.

Summary: Research has shown that dysregulated cell death and impaired clearance of dead cells contribute to the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, leading to immune responses and tissue damages. This provides evidence for potential therapeutic targets in treating IIM.

Summary: Heart disease is a global health threat, and the key cellular process associated with cardiomyopathy is cardiomyocyte death. Regulating molecular pathways, including apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis, play important roles in the pathogenesis of various cardiomyopathies. Therefore, it is urgent to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms for regulated cell death in order to better understand and treat cardiomyopathies.

Summary: The coevolution of host-pathogen interactions plays a crucial role in human physiological traits related to protection against or susceptibility to infections. Animals utilize regulated cell death pathways to control infections, which have coevolved with microbes. However, microbes have also developed strategies to interfere with these pathways and evade eradication by the host.

Summary: The modulation of programmed cell death has a crucial role in the immunity against bacterial infections. Tight regulation of cell death is necessary to resolve infection and maintain immune homeostasis, as uncontrolled inflammation can worsen the damage caused by bacterial infections. Bacterial pathogens have evolved strategies to manipulate cell death pathways to promote infection.

Summary: The success of checkpoint inhibitors in cancer treatment has highlighted the importance of the immune system, particularly in eliciting antitumor responses. While initially thought to primarily target T cells, recent research suggests that these inhibitors may also impact innate immunity, thus playing a significant role in clinical efficacy. Further investigation into the mechanisms of action of checkpoint therapies on innate antitumor responses is crucial for developing effective combination treatments to combat checkpoint resistance in refractory malignancies.

Summary: Regulated cell death (RCD) pathways, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, are important for development and tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have identified crosstalk between these pathways, leading to the concept of PANoptosis. However, the roles of RCD pathways in cancer are still unclear and require further investigation.

Summary: Cystinosis is a lethal genetic disease with specific treatments. The cellular mechanisms are still unknown, but programmed cell death and apoptosis may be involved. Studies have shown that apoptosis rate is increased in cystinosis, but can be partially reversed with cysteamine.
