TY - T1 - Osteoarthritis and Toll-Like Receptors: When Innate Immunity Meets Chondrocyte Apoptosis SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/316035 T3 - A1 - Barreto, Goncalo; Manninen, Mikko; Eklund, Kari K. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Osteoarthritis (OA) has long been viewed as a degenerative disease of cartilage, but accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation has a critical role in its pathogenesis. In particular, chondrocyte-mediated inflammatory responses triggered by the activation of innate immune receptors by alarmins (also known as danger signals) are thought to be involved. Thus, toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their signaling pathways are of particular interest. Recent reports suggest that among the TLR-induced...
