TREM-1 acts as a necroptotic stimulus of alveolar macrophages in acute lung injury
March 27, 2023
New research has shed light on a molecular mechanism that fuels inflammation in acute lung injury (ALI), a severe and often fatal condition. Macrophage necroptosis, a form of cell death, is a necessary process contributing to intrapulmonary inflammation during ALI. However, the molecular mechanism that initiates macrophage necroptosis has remained unclear until now.
