OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Inflammasomes are multimolecular protein complexes that catalyse key inflammatory reactions in response to pathogens and to tissue injury. Understanding the regulation of inflamamsomes has led to the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs that may be effective in a number of diseases. Here Prof Brough describes recent work on the formation and degradation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and also covers some recent work on the AIM2 inflammasome.
