Innate immune cytosolic sensors assemble inflammasomes and PANoptosomes to activate caspase-1 and drive lytic inflammatory cell death, linking dysregulation to diverse diseases.
- Why it matters: These multi-protein complexes coordinate inflammatory signaling and DAMP/cytokine release, but structure-function relationships across inflammasome and PANoptosome formation remain a key therapeutic gap.
- What they did: This review synthesizes evidence on sensors including NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, AIM2, and Pyrin, emphasizing recent structural-mechanistic findings and biochemical and single-cell imaging support for PANoptosome assembly.
- The result: A clearer understanding of how these sensors assemble and function is positioned to inform therapeutic strategies targeting the molecules, their complexes, and their physiological roles across disease contexts.
