Immunity. 2006 Mar;24(3):241-3. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2006.03.004.

Abstract

Mutations in CIAS1/cryopyrin are linked to several autoinflammatory diseases. In this issue of Immunity, a critical role for cryopyrin in the caspase-1/IL-1beta axis and reveal a broader role for cryopyrin than anticipated is uncovered.
