RIPK1: A Promising Target for Intervention Neuroinflammation.

Abstract

Necroptosis is a novel mode of cell death that differs from traditional apoptosis, characterized by distinct molecular mechanisms and physiopathological features. Recent research has increasingly underscored the pivotal role of necroptosis in various neurological diseases, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. A defining hallmark of these conditions is neuroinflammation, a complex inflammatory response that critically influences neuronal survival. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanistic underpinnings of necroptosis and its intricate interplay with neuroinflammation, exploring the interrelationship between the two processes and their impact on neurological disorders. In addition, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies that target the intervention of necroptosis and neuroinflammation, offering novel avenues for intervention. By deepening our understanding of these interconnected processes, the development of more effective treatments approaches holds significant promise for improving patient outcomes in neurological disorders.
