Data on Liver Diseases Published by Researchers at University Hospital

2011 OCT 24 -- A new study, "Role of Toll-like receptors in liver health and disease," is now available. According to the authors of recent research published in the journal Clinical Science, "TLRs (Toll-like receptors), as evolutionarily conserved germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors, have a crucial role in early host defence by recognizing so-called PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) and may serve as an important link between innate and adaptive immunity. In the liver, TLRs play an important role in the wound healing and regeneration processes, but they are also involved in the pathogenesis and progression of various inflammatory liver diseases,...
