abstract = {Understanding and treating inflammation has proven a
formidable challenge. The initiator and central motor of
inflammation, the protein NLRP3, is an innate immune
sentinel and nonspecific sensor of cellular perturbation. A
wide array of inflammatory triggers prompts the formation of
an NLRP3 'inflammasome' complex, leading to inflammatory
interleukin-1 family cytokine release and pyroptotic cell
death. Since gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 were
demonstrated to cause a rare autoinflammatory disease termed
cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, NLRP3 has emerged as
key mediator of inflammation in mouse models for many common
diseases, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and
gout. But even though small-molecule NLRP3 modulators have
entered clinical development, many aspects of NLRP3
activation and regulation in humans remain relatively
unclear. This Review summarizes the current understanding of
the molecular mechanisms that drive NLRP3 inflammasome
activation and regulation, and discusses emerging targeting
strategies. Understanding these processes can guide
precision medicine approaches aimed at mitigating
NLRP3-driven pathologies.},
