Anti-microbial action of inflammasomes at the mucosa
Our bodies are in constant contact with a variety of microbes. Particularly in the intestine, the microbiome consists of an overwhelming number of organisms with which homeostasis must be regulated. If this cannot be achieved, bacterial and viral infection can lead to severe morbidity and death.
I will discuss the ways in which inflammasomes regulate these processes through a variety of mechanisms, including cell death and cytokine production.
