Staphylococcus aureus inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages during the early phases of intracellular infection, but not the late phases

Saumya Bhagat, Khushpreet Kaur, Luke D O'Connor…·Gabriel Mbalaviele

This study shows S. aureus inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages during early infection but not late infection, reducing bacterial load and pyroptosis.

NLRP3 inflammasome is regulated in osteoclasts through a Tmem178-dependent mechanism that restricts calcium influx

Khushpreet Kaur, Yael Alippe, Chun Wang…·Gabriel Mbalaviele

The paper shows Tmem178 suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation in osteoclasts by limiting calcium release, preventing excessive bone resorption.
