Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in chronic auto-immune diseases leads to skeletal anomalies, with severe osteopenia due to the activation of osteoclasts. Reproducing this phenotype in Nlrp3 knock-in mice has provided insights into the role of NLRP3 in bone metabolism. We studied the role of NLRP3 in physiological bone development using a complete Nlrp3...
