• mouse dermal fibroblasts, mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and bone-marrow-derived macrophages are resistant to necroptosis induced by the combination of TNF, Smac-mimetic, and the caspase-inhibitor QVD-OPH compared to wild-type cells
• mice, however, appear indistinguishable from wild-type mice, no organ abnormalities are seen histologically, peripheral blood numbers are normal, and stem cells are able to compete as effectively as wild-type cells for reconstitution of the hematopoietic system of transplant recipients
