Abstract
Plasma membrane rupture during lytic cell death was previously believed to occur through passive osmosis that burst open the membrane. Recent publications, including one in this issue of Cell, suggest that plasma membrane rupture is an active process mediated by ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) oligomers that dissolve membranes and/or assemble large pores.
