Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein regulates autophagy and inflammasome activity in innate immune cells

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is essential for controlling the cytoskeleton, but its function in innate immunity is unclear. Here the authors show that WASp deficiency is associated with dysregulated septin cage formation, excessive inflammasome activation, elevated immune cell death and r...
