Fully biobased blends of thermoplastic starch and a poly(butylene cyclohexanedicarboxylate)-based random copolyester containing 25 % of adipic acid co-units (PBCEA) are prepared by melt blending and direct extrusion film casting. The obtained films are characterized from the physicochemical and...

Pharmacological and Epigenetic Regulators of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Alzheimer's Disease.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland)

La Rosa F, Mancuso R, Agostini S, Piancone F, Marventano I, Saresella M, Hernis A, Fenoglio C, Galimberti D, Scarpini E, Clerici M.
PMID: 34832969
Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2021 Nov 20;14(11). doi: 10.3390/ph14111187.

Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex results in the production of IL-18, Caspase-1 and IL-1β. These cytokines have a beneficial role in promoting inflammation, but an excessive activation of the inflammasome and the consequent constitutive inflammatory status is a...
