Abstract
Necroptosis is a programmed form of inflammatory cell death involved in various pathologies, such as viral infections. In two new papers published in The EMBO Journal and EMBO Reports , Z‐DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is now shown to sense RNAs during viral infection or after caspase inhibition and activate necroptosis. This may suggest that Z‐RNAs are molecular patterns for activation of necroptosis.
