GlossaryNLRP3 inflammasome

protein complex triggering inflammation in response to cellular stress

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a protein complex within cells that plays a crucial role in the body's immune response. It detects harmful stimuli, such as infections or cellular damage, and activates inflammatory processes to help fight off these threats. This complex is significant in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and conditions like alopecia, where inflammation can affect hair follicles.
