Pyroptosis is a unique form of programmed cell death that is essentially proinflammatory and critical for immunity. In their Research Article(e202115800), Qian Cao, Zong‐Wan Mao, and co‐workers developed a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)‐anchored photosensitizer, CA‐Re, that is capable of inducing and self‐reporting membrane rupture upon irradiation, as well as evoking pyroptosis to activate antitumor immunity. CA‐Re is the first metal‐complex‐based pyroptosis inducer, and this work provides a promising avenue for cancer metalloimmunotherapy.

In ihrem Forschungsartikel (e202115800) entwickelten Qian Cao,Z ong-Wan Mao und Mitarbeiter einen an Carbonsäureanhydrase IX (CAIX) verankerten Photosensibilisator CA-Re,der in der Lage ist, bei Bestrahlung eine Membranruptur auszulçsen und Pyroptose hervorzurufen, um Antitumorimmunitätzuaktivieren. CA-Re ist der erste Pyroptose-Inducer auf der Basis eines Metallkomplexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
