BioLegend Takes a Look at ASC Specks
Read time: Less than a minute
Amyloid beta deposits can often trigger an innate immune response from microglia. This inflammatory process leads to IL-1β activation and the formation of inflammasomes. Following inflammasome formation, ASC specks can be created and released from the cell. Venegas et al. investigated the ability of ASC specks to promote amyloid beta aggregation and spreading, linking inflammasome activity with Alzheimer's disease progression.
