NLRP3 Inflammasome and MS/EAE [PDF]
Inflammasomes are cytosolic sensors that detect pathogens and danger signals in the innate immune system. The NLRP3 inflammasome is currently the most fully characterized inflammasome and is known to detect a wide array of microbes and endogenous damage-associated molecules.

NLRP3 inflammasome mainly controls interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion, leading to cell death called pyroptosis constituting a major antiviral host defense and inflammatory diseases upon viral infection.

Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]
Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

Vitamin D and the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
Vitamin D (VD) is a steroid hormone classically known for its key role in maintaining calcium homeostasis in the body. VD also has important immunomodulatory functions. This review explores evidence for a role of VD in attenuating the activation of the nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome.

NLRP3 Inflammasome Promotes the Progression of Acute Myeloid Leukemia via IL-1β Pathway
NLRP3 inflammasome has been reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of multiple solid tumors. However, the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unclear.

Divergent Effects of Metformin on an Inflammatory Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
The oral antidiabetic drug metformin is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties through activation of AMP kinase, thus protecting various brain tissues as cortical neurons, for example. However, the effect of metformin on the substantia nigra (SN),

Targeting NLRP3 Inflammasome With Nrf2 Inducers in Central Nervous System Disorders
The NLRP3 inflammasome is an intracellular multiprotein complex that plays an essential role in the innate immune system by identifying and eliminating a plethora of endogenous and exogenous threats to the host.

Klotho controls the brain-immune system interface in the choroid plexus. [PDF]
Located within the brain's ventricles, the choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid and forms an important barrier between the central nervous system and the blood.

Serum amyloid A primes microglia for ATP-dependent interleukin-1\u3b2 release [PDF]
Acute-phase response is a systemic reaction to environmental/inflammatory insults and involves production of acute-phase proteins, including serum amyloid A (SAA).
