Frontiers in microbiology, 2011•frontiersin.orgThe intracellular Nod-like receptor Nlrp3 has emerged as the most versatile innate immune
receptor because of its broad specificity in mediating immune response to a wide range of
microbial or danger signals. Nlrp3 mediates assembly of the inflammasome complex in the
presence of microbial components leading to the activation of caspase-1 and the processing
and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. In this review, we give an
update on the recent literature examining the role of Nlrp3 inflammasome in response to …
