Toll‐Like Receptors and Diabetes
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) recognize molecular patterns relating to a variety of microbial infections. Stimulation through TLRs leads to activation of antigen‐presenting cells, production of inflammatory cytokines creating inflammation, and production of type 1 interferons (IFNs) that include IFN‐α and ‐β, and exerts direct effects on regulatory cells.

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2004
One of the mechanisms by which the innate immune system senses the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms is through the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which recognize specific molecular patterns that are present in microbial components. Stimulation of different TLRs induces distinct patterns of gene expression, which not only leads to the activation of ...

Toll-like receptors and sepsis
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2004Recent evidence suggests that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a major role in innate immunity to recognize specific molecular patterns derived from pathogens, including lipid, protein, DNA, and RNA, and to fight against pathogens. Each TLR displays a difference in the expression pattern, intracellular localization, and signaling pathway, resulting in ...

Toll-like receptors in the spotlight
Nature Immunology, 2003Evidence that the relatively new field of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has come of age was apparent at a meeting held by the Biochemical Society at the Novartis Respiratory Centre in Horsham, UK, on 3 February 2003. The meeting covered a wide range of topics including how the innate response is tailored to the invading pathogen, how TLRs might have ...

Toll-like receptors and the eye
Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2005This review will describe the structure, expression/distribution and functional activity of Toll-like receptors, in particular in the ocular structures. It will also discuss innate and adaptive immune responses, by exploring the possible modulation/regulation of innate and adaptive immunity by Toll-like receptors, in view of recent findings observed in

Toll-Like Receptors and Their Ligands
2002The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key molecules involved in the recognition of pathogens by the innate immune system. This family of germ line-encoded receptors has evolved to recognize conserved features of microbes. Currently, 10 TLR family members have been identified in mammals.

Toll-Like Receptors in Dermatology
Dermatologic Clinics, 2007The human skin represents the first line of defense against potentially hazardous environmental threats (ie, infection by microbes, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi). To fulfill this crucial function and to maintain the integrity of the skin compartment, evolution has equipped the human immune system with a variety of sophisticated tools leading to

Toll-like receptors in the skin
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2007Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important pattern-recognition receptors involved in host defense against a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Activation of TLRs leads to the production of cytokines, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and upregulation costimulatory and adhesion molecules involved in innate and adaptive immune responses.

Toll‐like Receptors in Autoimmunity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Both genetic predispositions and environmental factors contribute to the development of autoimmunity. Toll‐like receptors (TLR) are a family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), and their stimulus by pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) is an important prerequisite for the induction of ...

Viruses and Toll-like receptors
Microbes and Infection, 2004Production of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons by mammalian cells is mediated through virus-specific activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Known roles for different TLRs and speculation as to their roles in viral pathogenesis and immunity are discussed in this review.
