Abstract
⺠TLRs detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns. ⺠In tissue injury, TLRs may also detect endogenous molecular “danger” patterns. ⺠TLRs are expressed not only on immune cells but also on fibroblasts and epithelium. ⺠TLRs promote maladaptive wound healing responses such as fibrosis and carcinogenesis. ⺠The contribution of TLRs to wound healing is highly organ- and context-dependent.
