    Abstract: A method of treating an inflammatory disease is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a polypeptide comprising a pro-domain of TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE), said polypeptide being devoid of a catalytic domain of said TACE, said polypeptide comprising a modification at a site selected from the group consisting of R58, R56 and K57 which renders said polypeptide resistant to furin degradation said polypeptide being capable of downregulating an activity of TACE, thereby treating the inflammatory disease.

    Abstract: A method of detecting activation of a necroptosis activation pathway in a subject is disclosed. The method comprising: (a) obtaining a biological sample comprising exosomes from the subject; (b) detecting an activity or expression of a component of the necroptosis activation pathway in an exosome fraction of the biological sample, wherein an increase in the activity or expression of the component of the necroptosis activation pathway indicates the activation of said necroptosis activation pathway. Methods of diagnosing necroptosis or inflammation by determining the level of exosomes in a biological sample. Method of modulating endocytosis by inhibiting MLKL or a cell surface receptor and a pharmaceutical composition comprising a population of exosomes comprising a component of the necroptosis activation pathway and its use in therapy of diseases, such as inflammation and cancer.
