The inflammation which occurs around the silicone prosthesis is a complex process that can provoke the failure of the device and compromise the health of the implanted patient. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are transmembrane proteins, are now known to act in the innate immune response and in end
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used to coat metal parts in order to improve their biocompatibility. Analysis of retrieved tissues associated with failed implants, suggest that phagocytosis of HA wear debris by monocytes/macrophages might provide a potent stimulus for the release of a variety of cytok
## Abstract The biological response to orthopaedic wear debris is central to peri‐prosthetic tissue inflammation and osteolysis, through mechanisms that include local inflammatory cytokine production. In particular, interleukin‐1 β (IL‐1β) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α|) are generated in high
## Abstract Microglia are activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce neurotoxic pro‐inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS). While a multitude of LPS receptors and corresponding pathways have been identified, the detailed mechanisms mediating the microglial response to LPS are
## Abstract ## Objective To assess the presence of Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) 1–9 in human articular cartilage, and to investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–induced activation of TLR‐4 on biosynthetic activity and matrix production by human articular chondrocytes. ## Methods TLRs 1
