The next card will be I. Voyant dexcès, where the strangeness of the connections might set one up for fraud: the immunosome, autumn crocus, colchicine, with the Saffron-gatherer fresco at Knossos. Over the past decade, researchers have begun to piece together how inflammasomes work. These large molecular complexes form in response to different stimuli — and their composition can differ accordingly. The stimuli can be incredibly diverse, including bacteria and bacterial toxins but also other danger signals such as cholesterol crystals. Once they have formed, they activate the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, which then call in lymphocytes to battle the perceived infection. Scientists once believed that the only job of the innate immune system was to protect the host from external danger.
