Abstract:
The February 2017 issue contains a Special Feature on Necroptotic death signalling: evolution, mechanisms and disease relevance. In recent years, research into a genetically encoded cell death program termed necroptosis has accelerated into vogue. Many laboratories are now racing to answer key questions such as: How does it occur? When does it occur? What does it do? What is it good (or not so good) for? Answers to these will ultimately guide efforts aimed at manipulating this new pathway for therapeutic benefit. In the six articles in this ICB Special Feature, the current state of play in necroptotic cell death research is dissected in considerable detail. The articles provide timely updates on what we have learnt so far and, importantly, where we might be going. Immunology & Cell Biology thanks the coordinator of this Special Feature ‐ James Vince ‐ for his planning and input.
