Overexpression of toll-like receptor 9 correlates with podocyte injury in a murine model of autoimmune membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Toll-like receptors (Tlrs) are sensors of danger signals which promote the activation of immune cells and intrinsic renal cells. Podocytes, the intrinsic cells of glomerulus, are continuously exposed to various plasma solutes and danger signals due to their unique location in the glomerulus. Herein,...
