Many types of regulated cell death exist, however the non-cell autonomous effects of specific forms of cell death remain poorly understood. Addressing this, Shkarina et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202109038) describe an optogenetic method to activate distinct modes of cell death in select cells.

使用光（激活）剑杀死细胞

存在多种类型的受调节细胞死亡，但特定形式的细胞死亡的非细胞自主效应仍知之甚少。针对这一问题，Shkarina 等人。(2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202109038)描述了一种光遗传学方法来激活选定细胞中不同的细胞死亡模式。
