Deletion of NLRP3 gene blocks traumatic brain injury induced abnormal immune response in 3xTg AD mice

Jakob C Green, Zheng Liu, Sarah Timis…·Dong Sun

This study shows that deleting the NLRP3 gene reduces TBI-induced immune changes in 3xTg AD mice, but only in males, highlighting sex-related differences.

Dickkopf1 is a Novel Endogenous Ligand for priming NLRP3 Inflammasome in Macrophages via TLR4

Theingi Aung, SuJeong Song, Joyce Kasongo…·Wook‐Jin Chae

This study identifies DKK1 as a novel endogenous ligand that primes macrophages via TLR4 to activate NLRP3 inflammasome and induce pyroptosis, distinct from LPS signaling.
