NLRP3 inflammasome activation, essential for cytokine secretion and pyroptosis in response to diverse stimuli, is closely associated with various diseases. Upon stimulation, NLRP3 undergoes subcellular membrane trafficking and conformational rearrangements, preparing itself for inflammasome assembly at the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). Here, we elucidate an orchestrated mechanism underlying these ordered processes using human and murine cells.
