    Host extracellular vesicles confer cytosolic access to systemic LPS licensing non-canonical inflammasome sensing and pyroptosis

    Intracellular surveillance for systemic microbial components during homeostasis and infections governs host physiology and immunity. However, a long-standing question is how circulating microbial ligands becom...

    A bacterial autotransporter impairs innate immune responses by targeting the transcription factor TFE3

    Type I interferons (IFNs) are consequential cytokines in antibacterial defense. Whether and how bacterial pathogens inhibit innate immune receptor-driven type I IFN expression remains mostly unknown. By screen...

    Intracellular immune sensing promotes inflammation via gasdermin D–driven release of a lectin alarmin

    Inflammatory caspase sensing of cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers pyroptosis and the concurrent release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Collectively, DAMPs are key determinants that ...
