Toll-Like Receptors in Health and Disease: Complex Questions Remain

Abstract excerpt

Until recently, the manner in which we respond to pathogens was obscure. It is now clear that a family of proteins, the Toll-like receptors (TLRs),3 contribute to the signal transduction induced by many pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and perhaps also to endogenous damage signals generated at sites of inflammation. Some TLRs act as central integrators of a wide variety of signals, responding to...
