Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play crucial roles in the innate immune system by recognizing
pathogen-associated molecular patterns derived from various microbes. TLRs signal …

The intestine serves as both our largest single barrier to the external environment and the
host of more immune cells than any other location in our bodies. Separating these potential …

The growing number of bacterial pathogens that are resistant to numerous antibiotics is a
cause for concern around the globe. There have been no new broad‐spectrum antibiotics …

Abstract Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is a pattern recognition receptor that is predominantly
located intracellularly in immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, natural killer …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are components of the innate immune system that respond to
exogenous infectious ligands (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs) and …

Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling represents one of the best studied pathways to implement
defense mechanisms against invading microbes in human being as well as in animals …

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 10 is the only pattern-recognition receptor without known ligand
specificity and biological function. We demonstrate that TLR10 is a modulatory receptor with …

Intestinal epithelial cells are the first line of defense against enteric pathogens, yet bacterial
pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes, can breach this barrier. We show that Listeria …

Over the last few years, we have seen an increasing interest and demand for pigs in
biomedical research. Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are closely related to humans …

Molecular Medical Microbiology, Third Edition presents the latest release in what is
considered to be the first book to synthesize new developments in both molecular and …
