Background: The connection between inflammasomes and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has garnered significant interest, with emerging evidence suggesting genetic associations and functional implications. Notably, studies have reported the upregulation of inflammasome components like NLRP1, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in AD patients. Moreover, genetic polymorphisms in inflammasome-related genes are linked to increased AD risk.

After stroke, there is a high incidence of acute lung injury and impairment of intestinal barrier function. In this research, the effects of pinocembrin on organ injuries induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion were investigated in mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) and further explored the possible mechanism. The potential targets of pinocembrin against MCAO/R were obtained by online tools.

Synthetic inhibitors of the serine protease DPP9 activate the related NLRP1 and CARD8 inflammasomes and stimulate powerful innate immune responses. Thus, it seems plausible that a biomolecule similarly inhibits DPP9 and triggers inflammasome activation during infection, but one has not yet been discovered. Here, we wanted to identify and characterize DPP9-binding proteins to potentially uncover physiologically relevant mechanisms that control DPP9's activity.

Over 60% of women with endometriosis experience abdominopelvic pain and broader pain manifestations, including chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, vulvodynia, and migraine. Although the imbalance of proinflammatory mediators, including the complement component C5a, is associated with endometriosis-related pain, the mechanisms causing widespread pain and the C5a role remain unclear. Female mice and women with endometriosis exhibit increased plasma C5a levels and pain.
