Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...

Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Endothelial toll-like receptor 4 maintains lung integrity via epigenetic suppression of p16INK4a. [PDF]
We previously reported that the canonical innate immune receptor toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is critical in maintaining lung integrity. However, the molecular mechanisms via which TLR4 mediates its effect remained unclear.

Morphine activates neuroinflammation in a manner parallel to endotoxin [PDF]
Opioids create a neuroinflammatory response within the CNS, compromising opioid-induced analgesia and contributing to various unwanted actions. How this occurs is unknown but has been assumed to be via classic opioid receptors.

Biallelic TLR4 deficiency in humans
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mediate functions for host defense and inflammatory responses. TLR4 recognizes LPS, a component of gram-negative bacteria as well as host-derived endogenous ligands such as S100A8 and S100A9 proteins.We sought to report phenotype and cellular function of individuals with complete TLR4 deficiency.We performed genome sequencing

Targeting Toll-Like Receptor 4: a promising strategy to prevent type 1 diabetes occurrence or recurrence [PDF]
TLR4 is a transmembrane receptor of the innate immune system that recognize LPS of gram-negative bacteria. Its stimulation induces pro-inflammatory responses and also modulates adaptive immunity.
