Hypoxia-induced neuronal death is a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases. Pyroptosis is a type of inflammatory programmed cell death mediated by elevated intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, we hypothesized that hypoxia-induced

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines due to inflammasome activation. Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is a small secretory glycoprotein upregulated by toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in various cells and tissues. LCN2 secretion

Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis and downstream inflammation are important self-protection mechanisms against stimuli and infections. Hosts can defend against intracellular bacterial infections by inducing cell pyroptosis, which triggers the clearance
