Mature neutrophils must be quickly removed from inflammatory sites to prevent tissue damage. Neutrophil removal is thought to be accomplished primarily through caspase-dependent apoptosis, which involves several genes of mitochondrial origin. However, mature neutrophils show reduced gene transcription and mitochondrial

EBV infection is a recognized epigenetic driver of carcinogenesis. We previously showed that EBV could protect cancer cells from TNF-induced necroptosis. This study aims to explore the epigenetic mechanisms allowing cancer cells with EBV infection to escape from RIP3-dependent necroptosis.
