Pattern Recognition Receptors and Inflammation [PDF]
Infection of cells by microorganisms activates the inflammatory response. The initial sensing of infection is mediated by innate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which include Toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and C-type lectin receptors.

Pattern recognition receptors and autophagy [PDF]
The immune system senses exogenous threats or endogenous stress through specialized machinery known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors recognize conserved molecular structures and initiate downstream signaling pathways to control ...

Pattern recognition receptors and gastric cancer [PDF]
Chronic inflammation has been associated with an increased risk of several human malignancies, a classic example being gastric cancer (GC). Development of GC is known to result from infection of the gastric mucosa by Helicobacter pylori, which initially ...

Innate Immunity Crosstalk with Helicobacter pylori: Pattern Recognition Receptors and Cellular Responses. [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most successful gastric pathogens that has co-existed with human for centuries. H. pylori is recognized by the host immune system through human pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors (TLRs), C ...

Are Pattern Recognition Receptors Associated with Hepatocellular Carcinoma? [PDF]
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the important causes of mortality due to malignancy. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are very important in liver pathophysiology in terms of their roles in the innate immune system, such as the regulation ...

Herpes Simplex Virus and Pattern Recognition Receptors: An Arms Race
Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) are experts in establishing persistent infection in immune-competent humans, in part by successfully evading immune activation through diverse strategies. Upon HSV infection, host deploys pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
