A Spotlight on the Underlying Activation Mechanisms of the NLRP3 Inflammasome and its Role in Atherosclerosis: A Review.

abstract：:NSAIDs are widely used to alleviate the symptoms of OA. It remains controversial as to what effects these agents have on the progression of OA. In vitro studies showed several types of NSAIDs (e.g., sodium salicylate, indomethacin) inhibited the synthesis of cartilage matrix component, but some types of NSAIDs (e.g., ...
