The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 362-373, June 2026.ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Can a lizard ride on a housefly?: Navigating uncertainty and moral life in an Accra Zongo, Ghana
Ethos, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract How can uncertainty become a resource for ethical life rather than a threat to it? Focusing on a Zongo community in Accra, Ghana—also known as a “traveler's camp” or “stranger's quarters”—this article examines how people use a creative form of communication called the practice of folding to sustain relationships shaped by conditions of ...

An Emergentist Approach to Phenomenal Causality
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 74-85, June 2026.ABSTRACT Philosophers have long debated whether phenomenal properties can play genuine causal roles. In this article, I aim to develop an emergentist approach to phenomenal causality, an approach that attributes novel causal powers to phenomenal properties and rejects the causal closure of physics.
