Caspase‐11: The driving factor for noncanonical inflammasomes
1 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Inflammasomes are large multiprotein platforms that mediate the processing of caspase-1, which in turn promotes the maturation and release of IL-1β and IL-18 in response to microbial and danger signals. While the canonical pathway of inflammasome activation has been known for some time, a novel mechanism of noncanonical inflammasome activation mediated by caspase-11 was more recently identified. This pathway...
