Divergent Effects of Metformin on an Inflammatory Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
, 2018 The oral antidiabetic drug metformin is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties through activation of AMP kinase, thus protecting various brain tissues as cortical neurons, for example. However, the effect of metformin on the substantia nigra (SN),

The Role of NLRP3 Inflammasome in Pneumococcal Infections
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Inflammasomes are innate immune sensors that regulate caspase-1 mediated inflammation in response to environmental, host- and pathogen-derived factors. The NLRP3 inflammasome is highly versatile as it is activated by a diverse range of stimuli.

Cytochrome c Negatively Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The release of cytochrome c from the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it is anchored by caridolipin, triggers the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome. Cardiolipin also interacts with NLRP3 recruiting NLRP3 to mitochondria and facilitating inflammasome ...
