Characterization of a maintainable human myeloid model of VEXAS syndrome with enhanced TNF-induced cell death and DAMP release

Background VEXAS syndrome is an adult-onset autoinflammatory disorder caused by somatic UBA1 mutations. UBA1-mutated myeloid cells have been reported to exhibit increased susceptibility to inflammatory cell death; however, the mechanisms underlying this phenotype and the extracellular consequences of enhanced cell deat...
