Macrophages and Epithelial Cells Mutually Interact through NLRP3 to Clear Infection and Enhance the Gastrointestinal Barrier
Activation of the nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) leads to the release of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which then facilitates pathogen control by macrophages. The role of NLRPs in controlling infection of epithelial cells is not well understood. Our hypothesis was that activation of the N...
