"we identify an unexpected role of TAM kinases (Tyro3 Axl and Mer)as promoters of necroptosis a pro-inflammatory necrotic cell death. Pharmacologic or genetic targeting of TAM kinases results in a potent inhibition of necroptotic death in various cellular models. We identify phosphorylation of MLKL Tyr376 as a direct point of input from TAM kinases into the necroptosis signaling"xsd:string
