    Sorafenib tosylate inhibits directly necrosome complex formation and protects in mouse models of inflammation and tissue injury

    Necroptosis contributes to the pathophysiology of several inflammatory, infectious and degenerative disorders. TNF-induced necroptosis involves activation of the receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3 (R...

    Assessment of In Vivo Kidney Cell Death: Acute Kidney Injury

    The kidney has been studied as an organ to investigate cell death in vivo for a number of reasons. The unique vasculature that does not contain collateral vessels favors the kidney over other organs for the in...

    Assessment of In Vivo Kidney Cell Death: Glomerular Injury

    The glomerulus functions as the filtration unit of the kidney. The mesangial, endothelial, and podocyte cells of the glomerulus exhibit the three clinically most important cell types, which are involved in div...

    Phenytoin inhibits necroptosis

    Receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 and 3 (RIPK1/3) have best been described for their role in mediating a regulated form of necrosis, referred to as necroptosis. During this process, RIPK3 phosphorylates m...

    Correction to: Phenytoin inhibits necroptosis

    The name of the one of the authors was misspelt. The author’s surname is Rodriguez, not Rodriquez as originally published. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

    The clinical relevance of necroinflammation—highlighting the importance of acute kidney injury and the adrenal glands

    Necroinflammation is defined as the inflammatory response to necrotic cell death. Different necrotic cell death pathways exhibit different immune reponses, despite a comparable level of intracellular content r...

    Dysfunction of the key ferroptosis-surveilling systems hypersensitizes mice to tubular necrosis during acute kidney injury

    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is morphologically characterized by a synchronized plasma membrane rupture of cells in a specific section of a nephron, referred to as acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Whereas the involv...

    The role of regulated necrosis in endocrine diseases

    The death of endocrine cells is involved in type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmunity, adrenopause and hypogonadotropism. Insights from research on basic cell death have revealed that most pathophysiologically im...

    Targeting ferroptosis protects against experimental (multi)organ dysfunction and death

    The most common cause of death in the intensive care unit (ICU) is the development of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Besides life-supporting treatments, no cure exists, and its mechanisms are still po...

    Rubicon-deficiency sensitizes mice to mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)-mediated kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury

    The cytosolic protein rubicon (RUBCN) has been implicated in the removal of necrotic debris and autoimmunity. However, the role of RUBCN in models of acute kidney injury (AKI), a condition that typically invol...

    A non-canonical vitamin K cycle is a potent ferroptosis suppressor

    Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death marked by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation1, has a key role in organ injury, degenerative disease and vulnerability of therapy-resistant cancers2. Although substan...

    Gasdermin D-deficient mice are hypersensitive to acute kidney injury

    Signaling pathways of regulated necrosis, such as necroptosis and ferroptosis, contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI), but the role of pyroptosis is unclear. Pyroptosis is mediated by the pore-forming protein...
