Role of toll-like receptor 4 in acute neutrophilic lung inflammation induced by intratracheal bacterial products in mice
Journal Title: Journal of Inflammation Research - Year , Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) represent a conserved family of innate immune recognition receptors. Among TLRs, TLR4 is important for the recognition of Gram-negative bacteria, whereas TLR2 recognizes cell wall constituents of Gram-positive microorganisms, such as peptidoglycan (PGN).

Local anesthetic failure associated with inflammation: verification of the acidosis mechanism and the hypothetic participation of inflammatory peroxynitrite
The presence of inflammation decreases local anesthetic efficacy, especially in dental anesthesia. Although inflammatory acidosis is most frequently cited as the cause of such clinical phenomena, this has not been experi...

No evidence for activation of TH1 or TH17 pathways in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from children with β-cell autoimmunity or T1D
The balance between TH1, TH2, TH17, and regulatory T cells has been suggested to be disturbed in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We investigated this balance in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from children at risk of d...
