title: NADPH oxidases: new players in TNF-induced necrotic cell death.
abstract: Necrosis is a caspase-independent cell death process involving the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Kim et al. (2007) reported on a novel TNF receptor 1 necrotic signaling complex inducing TRADD- and RIP1-dependent recruitment and activation of the ROS-generating Nox1 NADPH oxidase complex.
