[The molecular mechanisms and the functions of new types of regulated cell death including necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis.]

Apoptosis is a prototype of regulated cell death and plays a crucial role in the development of various organs and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that new types of regulated cell death, including necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis are molecularly identified. In this review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms and the functions of new types of regulated cell death.
