Abstract

The pore-forming gasdermin proteins mediate a lytic and proinflammatory form of cell death called pyroptosis and have been linked to the host defense against infection. Two recent studies published in Nature revealed that induction of pyroptosis in tumor cells promotes anti-tumor activity, highlighting gasdermins as potential new targets in cancer immunotherapy.
