16 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that control the maturation and production of interleukin-1 family members and play crucial roles in host defense against pathogens. However, dysregulated activation of inflammasomes is associated with intense inflammation, leading to the development of inflammatory diseases. Therefore, inflammasomes must be activated at a proper strength to protect against infection and...
