Funded Activity Summary

Cell death is a normal process that permits the growth and defence of our vital tissues. One kind of cell death, necroptosis, is characterized by the swelling and bursting of cells. When cells ‘explode’ in this uncontrolled way they provoke an inflammatory response. This may be a factor behind illnesses ranging from colitis to cardiovascular disease. Understanding necroptotic cell death may pave the way for new therapies for those that suffer from these devastating conditions.
