Figure 1: Characteristics of Two Modes of Programmed Cell Death Induced by Caspase-1 Activation

Caption

Recently, it has been demonstrated that activated caspase-1 induces pyroptosis, inflammatory and necrosis-like programmed cell death, although it was previously thought to induce apoptosis. It was not known why caspase-1 induces two different modes of programmed cell death with distinctive characteristics depending on the biological context.
