An ancient defense mechanism: Conservation of gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis
The gasdermins are a family of pore-forming proteins involved in various cellular processes such as cell death and inflammation. A new study in PLOS Biology explores the evolutionary history of gasdermins across metazoans, highlighting the conservation and divergence of gasdermin E.
