Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute a critical family of proteins that detect conserved microbial structures, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), to rapidly initiate the innate ...
Twas a head-scratcher: Twelve years ago, researchers found that a receptor, known for its role in a fruit fly dorsoventral patterning called Toll, was related to an important mammalian immune receptor ...
