Toll-Like Receptor-4 Antagonist Enhances the Repair of Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced DNA Damage and Augments Anti-Tumor Immune Responses in Mice
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the skin is related to the development of skin cancer. UVB also causes DNA damage in the form of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), which can result in stable mutations. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a component of innate immunity, plays a key role in cancer. Previo...
