    inflammatory cell death triggered by infection or immune signals

    Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that is triggered by inflammation. Unlike apoptosis, which is a more controlled and non-inflammatory form of cell death, pyroptosis results in the release of pro-inflammatory cellular contents, leading to an immune response. This process is often initiated by infections and can help the body fight off pathogens, but excessive pyroptosis can contribute to inflammatory diseases.
