The microglial NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis proteins.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated using Nlrp3‐GFP gene knock‐in mice that ALS microglia express NLRP3, and that pathological ALS proteins activate the microglial NL RP3 inflammasome, andNLRP3 inhibition may be a potential therapeutic approach to arrest microglian neuroinflammation and ALS disease progression.

Inflammasomes in CNS Diseases

TL;DR: Understanding of how inflammasomes are engaged in the pathogenesis of a variety of neurological diseases is crucial to develop effective therapeutic approaches for CNS pathologies that are propagated by chronic Inflammasome activation.
