A Novel Biofilm Amyloid Ligand for Caspase-11 Drives Hyperactivation in Dendritic Cells

This paper identifies curli amyloid as a novel activator of the non-canonical inflammasome in dendritic cells, driving hyperactivation without pyroptosis.

Raver1 links Ripk1 RNA splicing to caspase-8-mediated pyroptotic cell death, inflammation, and pathogen resistance

This study identifies Raver1 as a regulator of Ripk1 RNA splicing, which affects caspase-8-mediated pyroptosis, inflammation, and resistance to Yersinia infection.

Neuroligin3 Splice Isoforms Shape Mouse Hippocampal Inhibitory Synaptic Function

This study shows that different splice variants of Neuroligin3 affect inhibitory synaptic function in mouse hippocampal CA1 neurons and reveals the diversity of Nlgn gene expression in these neurons.
