Tumour necroptosis is regulated by RIPK3 during tumour development. Here the authors show that ZBP1 is an upstream mediator of RIPK3 in tumour necroptosis and that glucose deprivation induces the release of mitochondrial DNA, which binds to ZBP1 to activate ZBP1-mediated necroptosis in breast cancer.
