Scholarship Details: Inflammatory caspases are responsible for production of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 upon their recruitment into inflammasomes. They also mediate the non-conventional secretion of danger signals and induce pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory cell death program that removes infected immune cells and prevents intracellular replication of bacterial pathogens. On the other hand, inflammatory caspases may dampen [...]
