RIPK3-MLKL-mediated necroinflammation contributes to AKI progression to CKD

Abstract Necroptosis predominates functionally over apoptosis in the pathophysiology of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Inhibition of the core components of the necroptotic pathway—receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 or mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) reduce...
