inflammasome

Example:Researchers are studying the mechanisms of inflammasome assembly to better understand how inflammatory responses are initiated.

Definition:The process by which proteins assemble to form the inflammasome complex.

Example:Activation of the inflammasome can lead to the rapid release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to the inflammatory response.

Definition:The process of activating cytokines through the inflammasome pathway.

Example:Inflammasome signaling is crucial for the host defense against pathogens and for modulating chronic inflammatory diseases.

Definition:The process of signal transduction through the inflammasome that triggers innate immune responses.
