Abstract excerpt
NLRP1 is an inflammasome sensor protein expressed in barrier tissues of humans. Its activation in response to microbes or cellular stress triggers a cascade of molecular events, leading up to IL1β-driven inflammation and pyroptosis. Rare germline mutations of NLRP1 cause its persistent activation, resulting in autoinflammatory syndromes. Multiple self-healing palmoplantar carcinoma (MSPC) is one such syndrome,...
