The balance between AIM2-associated inflammation and autophagy: the role of CHMP2A in brain injury after cardiac arrest

Abstract Background Activation of the absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome and impaired autophagosome clearance in neurons contribute significantly to cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation (CA-ROSC) injury, while the mechanism by which the AIM2 inflammasome is regulated and relati...
