#LocationLocationLocation! Cool study about #Inflammasome @ivahb.bsky.social @elvirab.bsky.social &co, many congrats to the team! doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Are there spatial restrictions in NLRP3 #inflammasome activation? I am super excited to share our new study spearheaded by amazing @elvirab.bsky.social

Surprisingly, this activation could not be blocked by MCC950, suggesting that clustering of NLRP3 induces rearrangements of inactive NLRP3 leading to active NACHT-based oligomer formation.

Subcellular location of NLRP3 is not essential, but clustering on different scaffolds is. This explains how NLRP3 can react to so many diverse stress signals.
