β-Amyloid Clustering around ASC Fibrils Boosts Its Toxicity in Microglia
SUMMARY Alzheimer’s disease is the world’s most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is associated with neuroinflammation involving activation of microglia by β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits.

SUMMARY Pathological hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of tau (pTau) and neuroinflammation, driven by interleukin-1β (IL-1β), are the major hallmarks of tauopathies. Here, we show that pTau primes and activates IL-1β.

Peli1 facilitates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by mediating ASC ubiquitination
SUMMARY Inflammasomes are crucial for innate immunity against infections and, when deregulated, also contribute to inflammatory diseases. Here, we identify a critical function of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Peli1 in regulating the activation of NLRP3 ...

Unknown/enigmatic functions of extracellular ASC
Apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein containing a caspase recruit domain (ASC), encoded by PYCARD gene, is a 22 kDa small molecule, which aggregates into ASC specks during inflammasome activation.

Assembly and regulation of ASC specks
The inflammasome adapter ASC links activated inflammasome sensors to the effector molecule pro-caspase-1. Recruitment of pro-caspase-1 to ASC promotes the autocatalytic activation of caspase-1, which leads to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β.

ASC: Adaptive Skill Coordination for Robotic Mobile Manipulation [PDF]
We present Adaptive Skill Coordination (ASC) – an approach for accomplishing long-horizon tasks like mobile pick-and-place (i.e., navigating to an object, picking it, navigating to another location, and placing it). ASC consists of three components – (1)

Adsorption properties of carbon adsorbents based on wood waste [PDF]
This article investigates the adsorption properties of carbon adsorbents obtained from wood waste. The work aimed to study the effect of heat treatment and steam activation on the structure of coal and its ability to adsorb benzene. Electron microscopic,

Inflammasome activity is controlled by ZBTB16-dependent SUMOylation of ASC
Inflammasome activity is important for the immune response and is instrumental in numerous clinical conditions. Here we identify a mechanism that modulates the central Caspase-1 and NLR (Nod-like receptor) adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck ...

We present an architecture designed to transparently and automatically scale the performance of sequential programs as a function of the hardware resources available. The architecture is predicated on a model of computation that views program execution as a walk through the enormous state space composed of the memory and registers of a single-threaded ...
