The APPL1-Rab5 axis restricts NLRP3 inflammasome activation through early endosomal-dependent mitophagy in macrophages

Inflammasome regulation is not fully understood. Here the authors show that the early endosomal APPL1-Rab5 axis removes damaged mitochondria and then restricts the inflammasome response in macrophages, alleviating the inflammatory diseases.
