Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R) activates inflammatory pathways leading to organ injury after trauma. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR4, are required for activation of proinflammatory cellular signaling pathways in response to microbial products, but can also recognize endogenous molecules released from damaged tissues. Using mouse strains deficient in TLR4 protein or signaling, we...
