Activation of Macrophages by Oligomeric Proteins of Different Size and Origin.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Individuals with inflammation have a myriad of pregnancy aberrations including increasing their preterm birth risk. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and their ligands were all found to play a key role in inflammation. In the present study, we reviewed TLR and ...
