The flavonoid baicalin has been reported to possess potent anti-inflammatory activities by suppressing inflammatory signaling pathways. However, whether baicalin can suppress the activation of NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin containing domain 3 ...

Is the inflammasome a potential therapeutic target in renal disease? [PDF]
The inflammasome is a large, multiprotein complex that drives proinflammatory cytokine production in response to infection and tissue injury. Pattern recognition receptors that are either membrane bound or cytoplasmic trigger inflammasome assembly. These

Breaking Boundaries: Chronic Diseases and the Frontiers of Immune Microenvironments
ABSTRACT The immune microenvironment includes immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, vesicles, etc. The interactions between these components form a unique local immune microecology. Although immunity serves as the defense against external pathogens, aberrant immune activation often contributes to disease development.

Inflammasome activation causes dual recruitment of NLRC4 and NLRP3 to the same macromolecular complex. [PDF]
Pathogen recognition by nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) results in the formation of a macromolecular protein complex (inflammasome) that drives protective inflammatory responses in the host.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases as emerging targets for cancer immunotherapy
Abstract Contemporary strategies in cancer immunotherapy, despite remarkable success, remain constrained by inherent limitations such as suboptimal patient responses, the emergence of drug resistance, and the manifestation of pronounced adverse effects. Consequently, the need for alternative strategies for immunotherapy becomes clear.

The cytoskeleton in cell-autonomous immunity: structural determinants of host defence
Host cells use antimicrobial proteins, pathogen-restrictive compartmentalization and cell death in their defence against intracellular pathogens. Recent work has revealed that four components of the cytoskeleton — actin, microtubules, intermediate ...

Caspase-8 functions as a key mediator of inflammation and pro-IL-1β processing via both canonical and non-canonical pathways. [PDF]
Caspase-8 is an apical component of cell death pathways. Activated caspase-8 can drive classical caspase-dependent apoptosis and actively inhibits cell death mediated by RIPK3-driven necroptosis.

▪ Background and Purpose NLRP3 is up‐regulated in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The development of NLRP3 inhibitors is challenged by the identification of compounds with distinct mechanisms of action avoiding side effects and toxicity. Triptolide is a natural product with multiple anti‐inflammatory activities, but a narrow therapeutic window ...
