GlossaryInflammasome Activation

process triggering immune response to harmful stimuli

Inflammasome activation refers to the process by which a group of proteins in the immune system, called inflammasomes, detect harmful stimuli like infections or cellular damage and trigger an inflammatory response. This activation leads to the production of molecules like cytokines that help fight off infections but can also contribute to inflammatory diseases if not properly regulated.
