Human NLRC4 can act as a direct sensor for cytosolic flagellin

Gaopeng Li, Kenyatta Doumanas, Xiao Liu, Nadya Panagides, Liudmila Andreeva, Florian Ingo Schmidt, Clare Elizabeth Bryant, Alexander N.R. Weber

This study shows human NLRC4 can directly sense cytosolic flagellin without NAIP, while NAIP may inhibit this response.

Chitin oligomers induce atypical NLRP3 inflammasome activation and innate immune training

Timmy Richardo, Margareta J. Hellmann, Tzu-Hsuan Chang, Jumana Kushkush, Xiao Liu, Bruno Maria Moerschbacher, Alexander N.R. Weber

This study shows that chitin oligomers of specific lengths activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and induce innate immune training through phagocytosis and methyl transferase activity.
