Inflammation and Inflammasomes: Pros and Cons in Tumorigenesis by Liliana R. Balahura, Aida Selaru, Sorina Dinescu, Marieta Costache

“…When persistent inflammation occurs, activation of inflammasome complexes is initiated, leading to its assembly and further activation of caspase, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and pyroptosis induction. The function of this multiprotein complex is not only to reassure inflammation and to promote cell death, through caspase activity, but also has been identified to have significant contributions during tumorigenesis and cancer development. …”
