Candida albicans hyphae formation triggers activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome
The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β plays an important role in antifungal immunity; however the mechanisms by which fungal pathogens trigger IL-1β secretion are unclear. Here we show that infection with C. albicans is sensed by the Nlrp3 inflammasome resulting in the subsequent release of IL-1β. The...
