Popis: Abstract Pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death mediated by the gasdermin family, is characterized by cell swelling and membrane rupture. Inducing pyroptosis in cancer cells can enhance antitumor immune responses and is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. However, excessive pyroptosis may trigger the development of inflammatory diseases due to immoderate and continuous inflammatory reactions. Nanomaterials and nanobiotechnology, renowned for their unique advantages and diverse structures, have garnered increasing attention owing to their potential to induce pyroptosis in diseases such as cancer. A nano-delivery system for drug-induced pyroptosis in cancer cells can overcome the limitations of small molecules. Furthermore, nanomedicines can directly induce and manipulate pyroptosis. This review summarizes and discusses the latest advancements in nanoparticle-based treatments with pyroptosis among inflammatory diseases and cancer, focusing on their functions and mechanisms and providing valuable insights into selecting nanodrugs for pyroptosis. However, the clinical application of these strategies still faces challenges owing to a limited understanding of nanobiological interactions. Finally, future perspectives on the emerging field of pyroptotic nanomaterials are presented. Graphical abstract
