Toll-like receptors and airway inflammation

Abstract

The respiratory tract opens to the external environment at the oral side edge, and the other edge of the respiratory tract connects to the closed space (alveoli), and so to preserve the sterility in the terminal respiratory tract is critical for protection against pathogens. The recognition machinery for the invasion of microbes is indispensable for the preservation of the sterility in the lungs. Our general understanding of how microbes are recognized by the innate immune system has increased considerably over the past several years, and the contribution of Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) to innate immunity is now well documented. In the meantime, it has come to understand that many inflammatory processes may depend on TLR signaling, it has been considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of airway inflammatory diseases such as airway infections, bronchial asthma, and occupational airway diseases. In this review, we focus on physiological roles of TLRs in defense mechanisms of the airways, and pathophysiological roles on airway diseases.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
