PRELIMINARY STUDIES OF INTERACTION BETWEEN NANOTUBES AND TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS
TASK Quarterly, 2014 Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a group of proteins which play a crucial role in the innate immune system. The main function of TLRs is to recognize structurally conserved molecules, which are inserted to the organism of the host by microbes, and then to
