Clonal haematopoiesis — the occurrence of somatic mutations and mosaic chromosomal alterations in blood cells — is associated with age-related diseases, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and haematological neoplasms. This Review describes how myeloid and lymphoid cell dysregulation underlies this association.

The authors show that Nlrp10 can form a functional inflammasome in vitro and ex vivo, and that this inflammasome is protective in dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice.

NLRP10 has been considered as an inflammasome inhibitor. Here the authors show that upon mitochondrial rupture, NLRP10 assembles a canonical inflammasome and is highly expressed in differentiated keratinocytes, possibly supporting skin homeostasis.
