DEATH CASCADE. “Formation of inflammasomes in response to microbial or danger signals leads to cleavage of procaspase-1 into active caspase-1 enzyme, which further cleaves proforms of the inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18, into their active forms. Inflammasome activation also results in pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of cell death.”
