Abstract excerpt
BackgroundThe mechanisms underlying aberrant activation of intestinal Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remain unclear. In this study, we examined the role of single-immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR), an inhibitor of TLR signaling, in modulating experimental NEC vulnerability in mice.MethodsExperimental NEC was induced in neonatal wild-type and...
