Abstract
How extracellular calcium can trigger Nlrp3 inflammasome activation has been somewhat controversial and unclear. Here the authors show calciprotein particles are taken up by myeloid cells via calcium-sensing receptor-dependent macropinocytosis in response to high levels of extracellular Ca2+ and this pathway might be critical to inflammatory conditions.
