    GlossaryAIM2 inflammasome

    protein complex detecting foreign DNA, triggering immune responses

    The AIM2 inflammasome is a protein complex in the immune system that detects foreign DNA inside cells, such as from viruses or bacteria. When AIM2 senses this DNA, it activates a series of responses that lead to inflammation and the destruction of the infected cell, helping to protect the body from infections.
