2. 1. Toll-like Receptors in Allergic Rhinitis

   Author : Mattias Fransson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; poly I:C ; uteroglobin; Toll-like receptors; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; Otorhinolaryngology; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; innate immunity; LPS; allergic rhinitis; bone marrow;

   Abstract : Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disorder with the characteristic symptoms itching, sneezing, secretion and blockage upon allergen contact. In addition to the local inflammation in the nose, there is a systemic component that influences peripheral blood, bone marrow and lungs. READ MORE

4. 2. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory bone modeling

   Author : Ali Kassem; Ulf Lerner; Pernilla Lundberg; Pedro Souza; Timothy Arnett; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Toll-like receptor; osteoclast; osteoblast; bone resorption; bone formation; P. gingivalis; S. aureus; flagellin.;

   Abstract : Patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and loosened joint prosthesis display varying severity of destruction in the adjacent bone tissue. Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. READ MORE

5. 3. Inflammation in the immature brain: The role of Toll like receptors

   Author : Linnea Stridh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : hypoxia-ischemia; immature brain; inflammation; innate immunity; Toll-like receptors;

   Abstract : Infection/inflammation and/or hypoxia-ischemia (HI) are major causes of perinatal brain injury. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), important components of innate immunity, have been shown to be involved in brain injury, both after infectious and endogenous, non-infectious, stimuli. READ MORE

6. 4. Role of Toll-like receptors in airway inflammation

   Author : Anne Månsson; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lymphocytes; peripheral blood; allergic rhinitis; tonsils; eosinophils; specific allergen immunotherapy;

   Abstract : Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are germline-encoded pathogen-recognition receptors that detect different microbial structures and activate the immune system. The human TLR family presently comprises ten members (TLR1-TLR10), each with distinct properties. READ MORE

7. 5. Airway hyperresponsiveness and viral recognizing toll-like receptors

   Author : Magnus Starkhammar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Common colds caused by viruses are, in healthy individuals, usually self-limited and with relatively mild symptoms. In asthmatic individuals, respiratory viruses can burst the defense immune system and trigger asthma exacerbations, including causing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). READ MORE
