Toll-Like Receptors as Novel Therapeutic Targets for Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer (OC) is an aggressive disease that affects approximately 1 in 70 women and has a poor prognosis (<50%, 5-year survival rate), in part because it is often diagnosed at a late stage. There are three main types of OC: neoplasms of surface epithelial, germ cell, or stromal origin, with surface epithelial tumors comprising about 80% of all OCs. In addition to improving diagnostics, it...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Squash Preparations in Central Nervous System Tumors
Background & Objectives: The accurate assessment of the diseased tissue is fundamental to the diagnosis and management of disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). The ‛squash’ or ‛crush’ technique has been universally employed in the intraoperative diagnosis of CNS tumors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of squash preparation in diagnosing CNS tumors by comparing with hi...
متن کاملToll-6 and Toll-7 function as neurotrophin receptors in the Drosophila central nervous system
Neurotrophin receptors corresponding to vertebrate Trk, p75NTR or Sortilin have not been identified in Drosophila, thus it is unknown how neurotrophism may be implemented in insects. Two Drosophila neurotrophins, DNT1 and DNT2, have nervous system functions, but their receptors are unknown. The Toll receptor superfamily has ancient evolutionary origins and a universal function in innate immunit...
متن کاملToll-like receptors: emerging therapeutic targets for heart failure
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as central innate immune receptors. They distinguish among different patterns of pathogens and rapidly activate an innate immune response. However, TLRs can also be stimulated by host-derived molecules. They are expressed in the cardiovascular system and could thus be a key link between cardiovascular diseases and the activation of the immune syst...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Toll-Like Receptors in Awakening Dendritic Cell/Natural Killer Cell System for Eradication of Tumors
Natural killer (NK) cells are effector cells of the innate immune system that exert direct cytotoxic functions. Ubiquitously-expressed toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been recognized as one of the major components promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation, which may induce polarized immune responses beneficial to cancer immunotherapy. TLR-activated NK cells and DCs are prerequisite for robust ac...
