Inflammasomes are important cytoplasmic signaling complexes of the innate immune system that sense infection, cellular injury, and metabolic abnormalities. They activate inflammatory Caspases, promote the maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and drive Gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis. Inflammasomes such ...
Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory form of regulated cell death mediated by pore formation by Gasdermin family proteins. This process is generally initiated by inflammasome assembly and inflammatory caspase activation, leading to increased plasma membrane permeability, cellular swelling and ...
