Evolution of the proinflammatory receptor TREM-1 in mammals reveals signatures of pathogen-driven conflict
Animal immune cells express a range of surface receptors that promote the detection of diverse host and pathogen-derived molecules. The triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREMs) encompass a family of cell surface receptors involved in the modulation of immune signaling cascades. Mammalian TREM-1 has emerged as a critical mediator of antibacterial immune defense and inflammatory…
