A Novel Biofilm Amyloid Ligand for Caspase-11 Drives Hyperactivation in Dendritic Cells
Bacterial biofilms drive persistent infection and chronic inflammation, yet host sensing of biofilm-derived ligands remains poorly understood. Here we identify curli amyloid, an integral component of Enterobacteriaceae biofilms, as a novel activator of the non-canonical inflammasome in human and mouse dendritic cells (...
