NLRP3 activation and mitosis are mutually exclusive events coordinated by NEK7, a new inflammasome component
The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to microbes and danger signals by processing and activating proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and IL-18. We show that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is restricted to interphase of the cell cycle by NEK7, a serine/threonine kinase previously implicated in mitosi...
