    The NLRP3 inflammasome is central to a variety of inflammatory diseases, but how it is regulated to prevent excessive inflammation is not clear. Here the authors show that NLRP3 activation causes SHP2 translocation to the mitochondria to interact with and dephosphorylate ANT1, thus stabilizing the mitochondria and preventing release of proinflammatory mitochondrial DNA and ROS
