Research advances on the relationship between infectious diseases and programmed cell death / 中华临床感染病杂志

In recent years, with the progress of research on the molecular mechanism of cell death, it has been discovered that there are many new types of programmed cell death, including non-apoptotic (10 types) and apoptotic (2 types), which are widely involved in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and tumors. It is also a frontier research topic and provides new ideas for disease prevention and treatment. This article reviews the published literature on programmed cell death, focusing on the characteristics of cell necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, neutrophil inflammatory cell death (NETosis), cuproptosis, and widespread apoptosis (PANoptosis), as well as their relationship with infectious diseases.
