Toll-Like Receptors in Angiogenesis [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2011 Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are known as pattern-recognition receptors related to the Toll protein ofDrosophila. After recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns of microbial origin, the TLRs alert the immune system, and initiate innate and adaptive immune responses.

Current Biology, 2011 SummaryBeginning with the physical barrier presented by the epithelium, infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria encounter an array of cellular and molecular countermeasures that evolved within the host to resist them. Host immune responses are of two types, termed innate and adaptive.

Toll and Toll-like receptor signalling in development [PDF]
Development, 2018 ABSTRACT The membrane receptor Toll and the related Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are best known for their universal function in innate immunity. However, Toll/TLRs were initially discovered in a developmental context, and recent studies have revealed that Toll/TLRs carry out previously unanticipated functions in development, regulating ...

Toll-Like Receptors in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Brain Research Reviews, 2009 Innate pattern recognition receptors are implicated in first-line defense against pathogens but also participate in maintenance of tissue homeostasis and response to injury. This chapter reviews the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in neuronal and glial responses that are associated with neurodegeneration.

Toll-like Receptors and the Eye [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2006 The immune response to microbial pathogens relies on both innate and adaptive components.1 The innate or immediate response is mediated in large measure by leukocytes of the blood, such as neutrophils (PMNs) and macrophages, cells that phagocytose and kill the pathogens and that concurrently coordinate additional host responses by synthesis of a wide ...

Toll-Like Receptors in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is driven by inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests that toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key orchestrators of the atherosclerotic disease process. Interestingly, a distinct picture is being revealed for individual receptors in atherosclerosis.

Toll-like receptors as adjuvant receptors
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2002 The mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells, which are primarily involved in innate immunity. At present, ligands for several of the TLRs, such as TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR6, and TLR9, have been identified.

Japanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2005 Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been revealed to recognize specific patterns of microbial components. Recognition of microbial components by TLRs initiates signal transduction pathways, triggering expression of genes, which products control innate immune responses and further instruct development of antigen-specific acquired immunity.

Toll-Like Receptor Signaling [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013 Toll-like receptors sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e.g., lipopolysaccharides) and trigger gene-expression changes that ultimately eradicate the invading microbes.
