Purpose.: To investigate the corneal expression of toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and determine
its contribution to the immunopathogenesis of dry eye disease (DED). Methods.: Seven to 8 …

Purpose.: To investigate the expression and/or function of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in dry eye inflammation. Methods.: Experimental dry eye …

We aimed to determine if toll-like receptor (TLR) expression is modulated in response to dry
eye-associated conditions and in dry eye syndrome (DES). Primary human corneal …

Purpose: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) alerts cells to the presence of bacteria by initiating an
inflammatory response. We hypothesize that disruption of the ocular surface barrier in dry …

purpose. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which recognize microbial products, have an important
role in the host innate immune response. The purpose of the present study was to determine …

Abstract Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are recognized as important contributors to
the initiation and modulation of the inflammatory response in the eye. This study investigated …

Purpose.: We evaluated the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in corneal epithelial wound
healing. Methods.: The expression of TLR4 during in vivo corneal epithelial wound healing …

Purpose Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a member of the TLR family, is an important pattern
recognition molecule that plays a role in the host's innate immune responses to …

Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease associated with ocular surface
inflammation. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are integral in the initiation of inflammatory …

purpose. To investigate the expression and function of toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 and-9 in
corneal myofibroblasts. methods. Two types of human keratocytes were used, which were …
