A discovery about how human cells are 'triggered' to undergo an inflammatory type of cell death could have implications for treating cancer, stroke and tissue injury, and immune disorders. Associate Professor James Murphy, Dr Jarrod Sandow and Dr Emma Petrie (L-R) from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia, have identified the molecular trigger in human cells that drives a type of cell death called necroptosis, and implicated defects in this molecular trigger as potentially playing a role in cancer development.
