NLRP3 inflammasome in sepsis: don't overlook the small steps-they can make a big difference!

J Leukoc Biol. 2024 May 29;115(6):999-1001. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae056.

Abstract

"In sepsis, persistent activation of NLRP3 is associated with expansion of both monocytic and granulocytic MDSCs, along with high plasma concentration of IL-10."

Keywords: NLRP3 inflammasome; immunosuppression; sepsis.
