## Abstract Tollβlike receptors comprise a family of evolutionary conserved pattern recognition receptors that act as a first defense line in the innate immune system. Upon stimulation with microbial ligands, they orchestrate the induction of a host defense response by activating different signalin
## Abstract Tollβlike receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogenβassociated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and enable innate immune responses. Although TLR9 has been previously considered to be expressed only in immune cells, there is now increasing evidence that TLR9 expression is present in nonimmune cells
The ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is the origin of the majority of human ovarian cancers. These adenocarcinomas are characterized by initial local growth followed by spreading into the peritoneal cavity at later stages of tumor progression. The cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin (E-cad) plays an i
## Abstract __Candida albicans__ is no longer the only yeast involved in infectious disorders, as others, such as __C. famata__, commonly associated with foods as well as terrestrial and marine environments, are being recognized as potential emerging pathogens that cause human candidiasis. We inves
