Secondary Necrosis Following Caspase‐Activation can Occur Independently of Gasdermin E
Secondary necrosis follows apoptosis, but its mechanism is unclear. This study shows that although gasdermin E is cleaved during this process, it is not required for membrane rupture. Across multiple...

Hot off the presses! Was an honor to team up with Scott Dixon @stanforduniversity.bsky.social on this Nature Cancer review. We reflect on hurdles that have slowed translation of ferroptosis-directed therapies and share ideas on what it will take to bring these therapies to the clinic. rdcu.be/eBbqV
