A hypothetical role for Notch signaling pathway in immunopathogenesis of leprosy.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Nov 2017

Serrano-Coll Héctor, Acevedo-Saenz Liliana, Cardona-Castro Nora

Abstract excerpt

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae mainly affecting skin and peripheral nerves. Leprosy has a broad range of clinical manifestations that range from mild (tuberculoid leprosy) to severe (lepromatous leprosy) forms, and are highly dependent on the host's immune response. Among the immune response elements involved in the pathogenesis of leprosy are the Toll-like receptors...
