Toll-like receptors feeling pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e. therefore interesting lymphocytes to

Toll-like receptors feeling pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e. therefore interesting lymphocytes to mount an adaptive antigen-specific immune response (observe Fig. 1) that ultimately eradicates the invading microbes (Kawai and Akira 2010). Number 1. TLR signaling (simplified look at). Recognition of TLR innate immune function began with the finding that mutants in the gene are highly susceptible… Continue reading Toll-like receptors feeling pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e. therefore interesting lymphocytes to

Evidence on the association between vitamin D status and pancreatic cancer

Evidence on the association between vitamin D status and pancreatic cancer risk is inconsistent. Introduction Vitamin D signaling is of interest in relation to cancer because of its hypothesized role in inducing immune cell differentiation and inhibiting tumor proliferation and angiogenesis [1]. In humans most vitamin D is synthesized endogenously via exposure of the skin… Continue reading Evidence on the association between vitamin D status and pancreatic cancer
