This image highlights the core research of Harvard's Wu lab. The lab studies the structural biology of inflammasomes, signaling proteins key to the innate immune response, and wanted to have an image that highlighted both the NLRP3 inflammasome structures that they have determined (as of early 2021) and some of the related biology. The subunits of NLRP3 are shown assembling from inactive monomers (left) to the active, 11-fold symmetric signaling disk (right).
