Abstract
Cell death classification has been based on morphological characteristics for decades. Modern advances in molecular technology enabled us to explore cell death pathways on a level of unprecedented detail. While necrosis has been considered a negative unpreventable form of cell death, recent findings demonstrate that a subtype of necrosis, namely necroptosis, is a regulated programmed process. Hence, therapeutic intervention to inhibit necroptosis-mediated loss of cells in a disease process is possible. This review highlights recent advances in programmed necrosis (necroptosis) and its potential relationship to human disease.
