20 Open questions/perspectives 1/ Will diet-induced-obesity increase inflammasome activation in bi- 1 -/- mice correlating with overwhelming ER stress? Which are the mechanisms? Consequences on NAFLD? 2/ Might the breeding DKO caspase-1/caspase-11 X bi-1-/- rescue the bi-1 phenotype? 3/ Might BI-1 directly or indirectly be able to modulate inflammasome regulation? 4/ Which are the consequences of inflammasome invalidation on ER stress signaling pathways?
