TLR Signals in Epithelial Cells in the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses
The respiratory tract is constantly at risk of invasion by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In particular, the mucosal epithelium of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is at the very forefront of the battles between the host and the invading pathogens. Recent studies have rev...

The respiratory tract is constantly at risk of invasion by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
