Canonical Nlrp3 Inflammasome Links Systemic Low-Grade Inflammation to Functional Decline in Aging

TLDR
Nlrp3 inflammasome is revealed as an upstream target that controls age-related inflammation and an innovative therapeutic strategy to lower NLRp3 activity to delay multiple age- related chronic diseases is offered.

Anti-inflammatory Action of Calorie Restriction Underlies the Retardation of Aging and Age-Related Diseases

TL;DR: The evidence that CR suppresses molecular inflammation through the proper maintenance of redox status, NF-κB signaling, inflammasome activation, ER stress, and insulin sensitivity is summarized, which in turn lead to the intervention of aging processes and age-related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Immune System as a Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: There is an intricate connection between the immune and central nervous systems, which can be imbalanced and thereby mediate neuroinflammation and AD and how it can be altered with AD is examined.

The NLRP3 inflammasome as a target for sensorineural hearing loss.

TL;DR: In this paper , the evidence for the NLRP3 inflammasome and associated cytokines as potential therapeutic targets for sensorineural hearing loss in conditions ranging from auto-inflammatory disease to tumour-induced hearing loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia: Rheostats of space radiation effects in the CNS microenvironment.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors highlight aspects of microglial biology and how repeated insults that occur with age, neurodegenerative disease and possibly radiation exposure may heighten microglia responses and contribute to their dysfunction, creating a situation where their normal reparative mechanisms are no longer sufficient to maintain brain health.

Gene Expression Omnibus: NCBI gene expression and hybridization array data repository

TL;DR: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data and provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submission, storage and retrieval of heterogeneous data sets from high-power gene expression and genomic hybridization experiments.

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is shown that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in mice deficient in the IL-1β receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflamm‐aging: An Evolutionary Perspective on Immunosenescence

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of inflammation devoted to the neutralization of dangerous/harmful agents early in life and in adulthood become detrimental late in life in a period largely not foreseen by evolution, according to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunological and Inflammatory Functions of the Interleukin-1 Family

TL;DR: The IL-1 family includes members that suppress inflammation, both specifically within the IL-2 family but also nonspecifically for TLR ligands and the innate immune response.
