Novel Approach Stops Immune Cell Death Associated with Multiple Diseases

Scientists from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine say they have discovered a way to stop immune cell death associated with multiple diseases, including sepsis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and arthritis.Their study (“ Chemical disruption of the pyroptotic pore-forming protein gasdermin D inhibits inflammatory cell death and sepsis ”), published in  Science Immunology , identified a chemical that potently inhibits inflammatory cell death. Cells often pe
