TLDR
This review focuses on the research progress about the role of TLR4 activation in infectious and noninfectious inflammation and the effects ofTLR4 signaling in some pathological conditions.Abstract:
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) belongs to the family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). They are highly conserved receptors that recognize conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), thus representing the first line of defense against infections. TLR4 has been long recognized as the sensing receptor for gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In addition, it also binds endogenous molecules produced as a result of tissue injury. Hence, TLR4 represents a key receptor on which both infectious and noninfectious stimuli converge to induce a proinflammatory response. TLR4-mediated inflammation, triggered by exogenous or endogenous ligands, is also involved in several acute and chronic diseases, having a pivotal role as amplifier of the inflammatory response. This review focuses on the research progress about the role of TLR4 activation in infectious and noninfectious (e.g., sterile) inflammation and the effects of TLR4 signaling in some pathological conditions.read more

Chitosan oligosaccharide: Biological activities and potential therapeutic applications
TL;DR: The mechanisms of actions of COS have been found to involve the modulation of several important pathways including the suppression of nuclear factor kappa B and mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPK and the activation of AMP‐activatedprotein kinase (AMPK).

TL;DR: COS is shown to have higher cellular transduction and completely absorbable via intestinal epithelium due to its cationic sphere exposed on the more exposed shorter N-glucosamine (N-Glc) units.

TL;DR: The mammalian Tlr4 protein has been adapted primarily to subserve the recognition of LPS and presumably transduces the LPS signal across the plasma membrane.

TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TLR4 is the gene product that regulates LPS response, and a single point mutation of the amino acid that is highly conserved among the IL-1/Toll receptor family is found.
