Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells - Nature Immunology
Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate dendritic cells.

Our DNA is not randomly stuffed into the nucleus but has a defined architecture that's key to chromosome mechanics and gene regulation. This is a very informative review for anyone like me who teaches this material or to those outside the field who want a clear and cogent summary 🧪
