Loss of polarity regulators initiates gasdermin E mediated pyroptosis in human maternal fetal interface trophoblasts

Khushali Patel, Jasmine Nguyen, Sumaiyah Z. Shaha…·Meghan R. Riddell

The paper shows that loss of aPKC activity in trophoblasts leads to gasdermin E-mediated pyroptosis, linking polarity regulators to inflammation in the maternal-fetal interface.
