Ischemia/reperfusion activates myocardial innate immune response: the key role of the toll-like receptor

Recent data have indicated that the myocardium may act as an immune organ initiating cardiac innate immune response and inflammation. It has been suggested that activation of the immune system occurs upon the interaction of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) generated and released during i...
