Muscimol inhibits plasma membrane rupture and ninjurin-1(NINJ1) oligomerization during pyroptosis

Abstract Pyroptosis is a cell death process that causes inflammation and contributes to numerous diseases. Pyroptosis is mediated by caspase-1 family proteases that cleave the pore-forming protein gasdermin D, causing plasma membrane rupture and release of pathogenic cellular contents. We previously...
