Opposing roles of LTB4 and PGE2 in regulating the inflammasome-dependent scorpion venom-induced mortality
Scorpion venom causes thousands of deaths worldwide. Here the authors show that the envenomation acts via prostaglandin E2 leading to inflammasome activation and lung pathology, counterbalanced by inflammation-limiting LTB4, and that COX inhibitors or exogenous LTB4 rescue the venom-induced mortalit...
