How some body molecules wake up an immune alarm
Poly (I:C) and hyaluronic acid directly interact with NLRP3, resulting in the assembly of NLRP3 and ASC in a cell-free system

Scientists found that two natural molecules—poly(I:C) and hyaluronic acid—can directly touch a protein called NLRP3 and make it team up with other proteins to turn on an inflammation signal.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

Two substances, Poly(I:C) and hyaluronic acid, might directly hook onto a protein called NLRP3 in a test tube, causing it to team up with other proteins to start an inflammation signal—like flipping a switch that turns on the body’s alarm system.
Small pieces of a substance called hyaluronic acid, found in your gut, may signal your body to calm down inflammation all over, including in your skin.
