Internal Affairs: Tenascin-C as a Clinically Relevant, Endogenous Driver of Innate Immunity
31 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
To protect against danger, the innate immune system must promptly and accurately sense alarm signals, and mount an appropriate response to restore homeostasis. One endogenous trigger of immunity is tenascin-C, a large hexameric protein of the extracellular matrix.
