Necroptotic cells activate MLKL and release inflammatory DAMPs, although the underlying regulatory mechanisms of this process are poorly understood. Here, Murai et al. develop a necroptosis-specific FRET sensor (SMART) that monitors MLKL membrane translocation to identify two modes of DAMP release.
