Gasdermin D promotes hyperinflammation and immunopathology during severe influenza A virus infection
Cell Death and Disease, 2023 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
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2022 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
Journal of Inflammation, 2023 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
Nature Communications, 2022 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 ...

Nature Communications, 2023 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,

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2021 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
Communications Biology, 2022 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.

A functional DC cross talk promotes human ILC homeostasis in humanized mice
Blood Advances, 2017 : Humanized mice harboring human hematopoietic systems offer a valuable small-animal model to assess human immune responses to infection, inflammation, and cancer.

The long non-coding RNA LUCAT1 is a negative feedback regulator of interferon responses in humans
Nature Communications, 2020 lncRNAs are transcriptional regulators, but little is known of them functioning as negative feedback regulators of inflammation in humans. Here, the authors show that the human lncRNA LUCAT1 sequesters STAT1 to limit JAK/STAT signaling and the ...
