A comprehensive deep dive into Toll-like Receptors (TLRs), exploring their crucial role in the immune system. The episode breaks down how different TLRs act as specialized cellular guards, with some stationed on the cell surface and others inside endosomes. It covers specific TLRs including TLR4's role in detecting bacterial components, TLR3's specialization in viral detection, and the intricate signaling pathways they use to trigger immune responses. The discussion also explores therapeutic applications, including the development of TLR agonists and antagonists for treating various diseases.
