Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a critical role in the immune process acting as innate sensors of pathogens. Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is especially relevant in those tissues maintaining close contact with microorganisms, not only because it prevents infections but also due to its involvement in the regulation of host-commensal interactions. Recent studies suggest that the occurrence of genetic polymorphisms...
