The bile acid sensor FXR is required for immune-regulatory activities of TLR-9 in intestinal inflammation.

<h4>Background</h4>Toll like receptors (TLRs) sense the intestinal microbiota and regulate the innate immune response. A dysregulation of TLRs function participates into intestinal inflammation. Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor and bile acid sensor highly expressed in ent...
