Journal ArticleDOI

The NLRP3 inflammasome: molecular activation and regulation to therapeutics

TL;DR: The NLRP3 inflammasome mediates pro-inflammatory responses and pyroptotic cell death and how it is being targeted to treat inflammatory diseases is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

NLR members NLRC4 and NLRP3 mediate sterile inflammasome activation in microglia and astrocytes.

TL;DR: It is revealed that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a molecule associated with neurodegeneration and demyelination, elicits NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasome activation in microglia and astrocytes, which are central players in neuroinflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nanoparticle-incorporated STING activator enhances antitumor immunity in PD-L1–insensitive models of triple-negative breast cancer

TL;DR: It is shown that liposomal nanoparticle-delivered cGAMP (cGAMP-NP) activates STING more effectively than soluble cGamp, and suggests that a minimal system comprised of cGamping-NP alone is sufficient to modulate the tumor microenvironment to effectively control PD-L1-insensitive TNBC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential induction of type I interferon responses in myeloid dendritic cells by mosquito and mammalian-cell-derived alphaviruses.

TL;DR: Alphaviruses were used to determine whether viruses grown in mosquito cells differed from mammalian-cell-derived viruses in their ability to induce type I interferon (IFN) responses in infected primary dendritic cells, and results suggest that the viruses initially delivered by the mosquito vector differ from those generated in subsequent rounds of replication in the host.
