ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

Mechanism of filament formation in UPA-promoted CARD8 and NLRP1 inflammasomes
Pathogen triggered N-terminal degradation of NLRP1 and CARD8 by the proteasome releases their C-terminal UPA-CARD fragments (CT) to form the inflammasome, which in turn activates caspase-1. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of the NLRP1-CT

Analysis of inflammasomes and antiviral sensing components reveals decreased expression of NLRX1 in HIV-positive patients assuming efficient antiretroviral therapy [PDF]
Objective: Few studies have investigated the importance of different components of the inflammasome system and of innate mitochondrial sensing (IMS) pathways in HIV infection and its treatment.

Neuritic plaques increase in the intermediate stage of Alzheimer's neuropathological change. The intermediate stage of Alzheimer's disease was investigated by transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry. This revealed that inflammasome sensors NLRP1, NLRP3, and AIM2 oligomerize with ASC speck to form the inflammasome complex and initiate the downstream ...
