NLRP3 inflammasome structure and activation. The main triggers of activation are pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Additionally, potassium efflux, lysosomal destabilization, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and other extra- and intracellular stimuli contribute to the NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
