Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will: 

• gain insights into how Immune response pathways can drive sterile diseases; 
• understand how inflammasomes can trigger IL-1 family cytokine activation; and
• learn how NLRP3 is activated at the molecular level.

Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To provide clinician scientists with insights into the molecular mechanism of innate immune activation in sterile inflammatory diseases in order to attain a better understanding of inflammasome biology.
