<scp>PAMP</scp>s and <scp>DAMP</scp>s: signal 0s that spur autophagy and immunity
14 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules (PAMPs) are derived from microorganisms and recognized by pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-bearing cells of the innate immune system as well as many epithelial cells. In contrast, damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs) are cell-derived and initiate and perpetuate immunity in response to trauma, ischemia, and tissue damage, either in the absence or...
