Abstract: Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative, flagellated bacterium that survives in phagocytes and causes Legionnaires’ disease. Upon infection of mammalian macrophages, cytosolic flagellin triggers the activation of Naip/NLRC4 inflammasome, which culminates in pyroptosis and restriction of… read more here.

Abstract: The inflammasomes are reported to be associated with tumor progression. In our previous study, we determined that extracellular ATP enhances invasion and tumor growth by inducing inflammasome activation in a P2Y purinergic receptor 2 (P2Y2R)-dependent… read more here.
