Abstract

PANoptosomes are large cell death-inducing complexes that drive a type of cell death called PANoptosis during infection and inflammation. Sundaram and colleagues recently identified NLRP12 as a PANoptosome that induces PANoptosis in response to heme, TNF, and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), indicating a role for NLRP12 in hemolytic and inflammatory diseases.
