Scientists identify the mechanisms underlying the activation of inflammasomes by fungal pathogens

[ad_1] Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have identified the mechanisms behind infection-driven inflammasome activation with the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Fungal infection, especially with A. fumigatus, is a leading cause of infection-associated deaths in people with compromised immune systems. The work provides clues to a potential therapeutic approach …
