    GlossaryNLRP1 Inflammasome

    protein complex triggering inflammation in response to cellular stress

    The NLRP1 inflammasome is a protein complex in the body's immune system that detects harmful pathogens and stress signals. When activated, it triggers an inflammatory response to help fight infections and repair tissue damage. This process is crucial for maintaining health, but if it becomes overactive, it can contribute to inflammatory diseases.
