Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are putting together a Special Issue of Cells looking at mechanisms of inflammasome regulation, which we hope will include world-class articles on current developments in our understanding of how different inflammasomes are regulated and their importance in health and disease. We welcome contributions, as review articles or original research papers, on this ever-expanding field of research. In particular, recent advancements in our understanding of the mechanistic processes that underpin the activation of different inflammasomes and their regulation —and dysregulation—by both host and pathogen will be covered.
Dr. James Harris
Guest Editor
