Innate immunity is an exciting area of research in rhinology because emerging evidence suggests that abnormal local immune responses, rather than pathogen-specific adaptive immunity, may play a more important role in the pathogenesis of chronic ...

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

Synthesis and validation of click-modified of NOD1/2 agonists [preprint] [PDF]
This article is a preprint. Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been certified by peer review.NOD1 and NOD2 sense small bacterial peptidoglycan fragments often called muropeptides.

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 ...

Methotrexate suppresses psoriatic skin inflammation by inhibiting muropeptide transporter SLC46A2 activity [PDF]
Cytosolic innate immune sensing is critical for protecting barrier tissues. NOD1 and NOD2 are cytosolic sensors of small peptidoglycan fragments (muropeptides) derived from the bacterial cell wall.
