Progress in Research on Correlation Between Toll-like Receptors and Inflammatory Bowel Disease / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are a group of proteins that play important roles in the innate immune system and can recognize pathogens. TLR may be involved in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through the regulation of mucosal homeostasis, intestinal flora and mucosal immunity. This article reviewed the progress in research on correlation between TLR and IBD.
