Quiescent hepatic stellate cells functionally contribute to the hepatic innate immune response via TLR3.

Quiescent hepatic stellate cells functionally contribute to the hepatic innate immune response via TLR3.

Toll-like Receptor 3 (TLR3) is a pathogen pattern recognition receptor that plays a key role in innate immunity. TLR3 signalling has numerous functions in liver, both in health and disease. Here we report that TLR3 is expressed by quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSC) where it functions to induce t...
