NLRP3 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Thus, in pursuit of this work, we aim to assess and analyze some of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, dependent from NLRP3 inflammasome pathway or from NF-κB pathway, to show how the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines is affected in C-ARDS, NC-ARDS and control pulmonary vasculopathies, before and after steroid treatment.
