The Role of Toll-Like Receptor Pathways in the Mechanism of Type 1 Diabetes
30 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the innate immune system play a key role in sensing and eliminating microbial infections. Interactions between TLRs and their ligands expressed by microbial pathogens induce a cascade of intracellular signaling events, culminating in the upregulation of proinflammatory pathways.
