Molecular Definition of Inflammasomes
Inflammasomes are crucial actors of the innate immunity. They consist of cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes controlling the biological activities of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß and IL-18.

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

The NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasomes [PDF]
Inflammasomes comprise a family of cytosolic multi-protein complexes that sense infection, or other threats, and initiate inflammation via the recruitment and activation of the Caspase-1 protease.

Atheroma and the inflammasome [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a ubiquitous disorder that begins in childhood. An autopsy study of 2,876 adolescents and young adults (ages 15-34) who died of external causes found fatty streaks in the aorta of 100% of subjects, and in the right coronary artery in half the subjects. The number and extent of lesions increased with age.

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 ...

Biochemical and microscopic analysis of inflammasome complex formation
Inflammasomes are multiprotein signaling platforms responsible for the maturation of pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 as well as the induction of an inflammatory cell death termed pyroptosis.

Reassessing the Evolutionary Importance of Inflammasomes [PDF]
Inflammasomes monitor the cytosol for microbial contamination or perturbation, and are thus predicted to provide potent defense against infection. However, the compendium of data from murine infection models suggests that inflammasomes merely delay the ...

Inflammasomes—New Contributors to Blood Diseases
Inflammasomes are intracellular multimeric complexes that cleave the precursors of the IL-1 family of cytokines and various proteins, found predominantly in cells of hematopoietic origin.

Mechanism of inflammasomes in cancer and targeted therapies
Inflammasomes, composed of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), are immune-functional protein multimers that are closely linked to the host defense mechanism.
