Downregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by adiponectin rescues Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Abstract Background The hormone adiponectin (ApN) exerts powerful anti-inflammatory effects on skeletal muscle and can reverse devastating myopathies, like Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), where inflammation exacerbates disease progression. The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a key role in the inflammati...
