Gasdermin D promotes hyperinflammation and immunopathology during severe influenza A virus infection
Excessive inflammation and tissue damage during severe influenza A virus (IAV) infection can lead to the development of fatal pulmonary disease. Pyroptosis is a lytic and pro-inflammatory form of cell death executed by the pore-forming protein gasdermin ...

Nanobodies dismantle post‐pyroptotic ASC specks and counteract inflammation in vivo
Inflammasomes sense intracellular clues of infection, damage, or metabolic imbalances. Activated inflammasome sensors polymerize the adaptor ASC into micron‐sized “specks” to maximize caspase‐1 activation and the maturation of IL‐1 cytokines.

Aggregated Hendra virus C-protein activates the NLRP3 inflammasome to induce inflammation
Background Hendra virus is an emerging virus with a geographically broad host reservoir. In humans, Hendra virus causes excessive inflammatory disease of the lung and nervous system. Our current understanding as to how Hendra virus or what factors induce

Human rhinovirus promotes STING trafficking to replication organelles to promote viral replication
Evidence exists that the typically antiviral signaling mediator STING is, counterintuitively, needed for optimal human rhinovirus infection. Here the authors confirm this finding and show how human rhinovirus can reduce stored Ca2+ levels to drive this ...

Trained Immunity: Reprogramming Innate Immunity in Health and Disease.
Traditionally, the innate and adaptive immune systems are differentiated by their specificity and memory capacity. In recent years, however, this paradigm has shifted: Cells of the innate immune system appear to be able to gain memory characteristics ...

Periphery and brain, innate and adaptive immunity in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where alpha-synuclein plays a central role in the death and dysfunction of neurons, both, in central, as well as in the peripheral nervous system.

The interleukin-1 family members, IL-1β and IL-18, are processed into their biologically active forms by multi-protein complexes, known as inflammasomes. Although the inflammasome pathways that mediate IL-1β processing in myeloid cells have been defined,

Infectious organisms and damage of cells can activate inflammasomes, which mediate tissue inflammation and adaptive immunity. These mechanisms evolved to curb the spread of microbes and to induce repair of the damaged tissue.

ATP-binding and hydrolysis of human NLRP3
Analysis of the inflammasome-forming protein NLRP3 provides insights into the function of conserved residues in the ATP-binding site of NLRP3 and the correlation of ATP hydrolysis with inflammasome activation.
