Inflammasome activation by viral infection: mechanisms of activation and regulation
Viral diseases are the most common problems threatening human health, livestock, and poultry industries worldwide. Viral infection is a complex and competitive dynamic biological process between a virus and a host/target cell.

Inflammasomes and autoimmunity [PDF]
The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family members are cytosolic sensors of microbial components and danger signals. A subset of NLRs control inflammasome assembly that results in caspase-1 activation and, in turn, IL-1β and IL-18 production. Excessive inflammasome activation can cause autoinflammatory disorders, including the hereditary periodic fevers ...

Peroxynitrite activates the NLRP3 inflammasome cascade in SOD1(G93A) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Neuroinflammation, characterized by the appearance of reactive microglial and astroglial cells, is one of the several pathogenic mechanisms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fast-progressing and fatal neurodegenerative disease.

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) has been shown to exert anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects after cerebral ischemia. Inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and -18 (IL-1β and IL-18) are crucial mediators of apoptosis and are maturated by

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration often result from the aberrant deposition of aggregated host proteins, including amyloid-beta, alpha-synuclein, and prions, that can activate inflammasomes.

(De-) Oiling Inflammasomes [PDF]
Activation of inflammasome signaling can produce harmful inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Yan et al. (2013) suggest that omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in marine oils can suppress activation of NLRP3 and NLRP1b inflammasomes.

Inflammasomes: caspase-1-activating platforms with critical roles in host defense [PDF]
Activation of the inflammatory cysteine protease caspase-1 in inflammasome complexes plays a critical role in the host response to microbial infections.

One special question to start with: can HIF/NFkB be a target in inflammation? [PDF]
Hypoxia and Inflammation are strictly interconnected with important consequences at clinical and therapeutic level. While cell and tissue damage due to acute hypoxia mostly leads to cell necrosis, in chronic hypoxia, cells that are located closer to ...

Inflammasomes: Role in disease pathogenesis and therapeutic potential
The structure of inflammasomes, history of their discovery, and their potential use as therapeutic targets were discussed. Inflammasomes represent cytosolic polyprotein complexes that are formed in response to various external and internal stimuli ...

Pulmonary diseases induced by ambient ultrafine and engineered nanoparticles in twenty-first century. [PDF]
Air pollution is a severe threat to public health globally, affecting everyone in developed and developing countries alike. Among different air pollutants, particulate matter (PM), particularly combustion-produced fine PM (PM2.5) has been shown to play a
