Plasma membrane damage causes NLRP3 activation and pyroptosis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Inflammasome activation is a response to bacterial infection but can cause damage and spread infection. Here, the authors use live single-cell imaging to show two mechanisms by which M. tuberculosis causes damage to human macrophage cell plasma membranes, resulting in activation of the NLRP3 inflamm...
