The structural and cellular biology of endogenous TLR4 activators in inflammatory disease

Abstract:

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are critical to detecting the presence of dangerous infections, initiating a protective innate immune response, and triggering a long-lasting adaptive immune response. TLRs initiate defensive, pro inflammatory signalling following direct binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are exogenous molecular fingerprints derived from infectious pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In addition to this role, more recent evidence demonstrates t...
