Discovery

Major research discoveries, ususally linked to a high profile publication.

Here the Inflammasome Lab reveal that Salmonella evades immune response by subverting the NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasome in macrophages.

The Inflammasome Lab have discovered that neutrophils can signal via TNFR1-driven ripoptosome assembly to induce both cell death and IL-1β maturation, but suppress TLR4-dependent cell death and NLRP3 inflammasome activation during IAP inhibition,

Inflammasome signalling animation

The Inflammasome Lab have uncovered precisely how caspase-1 is activated upon inflammasomes, which has revealed a new model for inflammasome signalling, function, and signal shutdown.
