The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Inflammation and Fibrosis during Progressive Renal Injury

Tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation are common causes of progressive organ damage, including progressive renal disease, leading to loss of physiological functions. Recently, it was shown that Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is expressed in the kidney and activated by endogenous danger signals. The...
