This induces a conformational change in the sensor protein, allowing it to recruit the adaptor protein and initiate the assembly of the inflammasome complex
Our findings, together with recent reports that astrocytes regulate synapse formation and synaptic transmission, reinforce the emerging view that astrocytes have an active regulatory rolerather than merely supportive roles traditionally assigned to themin the mature central nervous system
