A 360 view of the inflammasome: Mechanisms of activation, cell death, and diseases
Inflammasomes are critical sentinels of the innate immune system that respond to threats to
the host through recognition of distinct molecules, known as pathogen-or damage …

AIM2 forms a complex with pyrin and ZBP1 to drive PANoptosis and host defence
Inflammasomes are important sentinels of innate immune defence, sensing pathogens and
inducing cell death in infected cells. There are several inflammasome sensors that each …

NLRP12-PANoptosome activates PANoptosis and pathology in response to heme and PAMPs
Cytosolic innate immune sensors are critical for host defense and form complexes, such as
inflammasomes and PANoptosomes, that induce inflammatory cell death. The sensor …

The NLR gene family: from discovery to present day
The mammalian NLR gene family was first reported over 20 years ago, although several
genes that were later grouped into the family were already known at that time. Although it is …

Inflammasome activation and regulation: toward a better understanding of complex mechanisms
Inflammasomes are cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes comprising a sensor protein,
inflammatory caspases, and in some but not all cases an adapter protein connecting the two …
