Open AccessIdentification of FasL as a crucial host factor driving COVID-19 pathology and lethality
The dysregulated immune response and inflammation resulting in severe COVID-19 are still incompletely understood. Having recently determined that aberrant death-ligand-induced cell death can cause lethal infla...

Open AccessPrimary cilia suppress Ripk3-mediated necroptosis
Cilia are sensory organelles that project from the surface of almost all cells. Nephronophthisis (NPH) and NPH-related ciliopathies are degenerative genetic diseases caused by mutation of cilia-associated gene...

Open AccessCHIP ubiquitylates NOXA and induces its lysosomal degradation in response to DNA damage
The BH3-only protein NOXA is a regulator of mitochondrial apoptosis by specifically antagonizing the anti-apoptotic protein MCL-1. Here we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP controls NOXA stability after D...

Caspase-8 is the molecular switch for apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis
Caspase-8 is the initiator caspase of extrinsic apoptosis1,2 and inhibits necroptosis mediated by RIPK3 and MLKL. Accordingly, caspase-8 deficiency in mice causes embryonic lethality3, which can be rescued by del...
