Illustration of an inflammasome, a family of complex molecules made up of different proteins. The proteins form a sensor molecule (red), and adapter protein (purple) and a pro-caspase (blue). Inflammasomes play a key role in the innate immune response and are activated by a wide range of stimuli, for example: viruses, bacteria, particulate matter and endogenous molecules produced by tissue stress.
