Inflammasomes are activated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with COVID-19 severity in patients

Severe cases of COVID-19 are characterized by a strong inflammatory process that may ultimately lead to organ failure and patient death. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a molecular platform that promotes inflammation via cleavage and activation of key inflammatory molecules including active caspase-1 (Cas...
