Role | Mechanisms | Implications |
---|---|---|
Innate Immunity | Recognize PAMPs and DAMPs, initiate signaling cascades | First line of defense against pathogens |
Adaptive Immunity | Activate dendritic cells, modulate T cell responses | Bridge innate and adaptive immunity |
Inflammatory Diseases | Aberrant TLR signaling, persistent activation | Autoimmunity, chronic inflammation |
Cancer | Dual role in tumor progression and anti-tumor immunity | Potential therapeutic targets |
