“…It is now evident that, far from their primary well-known function as mediators of the immune response, TLRs play additional relevant roles in the progression of different pathological conditions, such as non-infectious neuronal injuries and neurodegenerative disorders (Carty and Bowie, 2011; Hanke and Kielian, 2011; Okun et al, 2011; Feldman et al, 2015). Interestingly, recent findings show that TLRs also appear to be involved in many physiological cellular processes, such as the development of neuronal circuits during embryogenesis, progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation, CNS plasticity throughout the entire life or drug-reward behavior (Rolls et al, 2007; Shechter et al, 2008; Okun et al, 2011; Barak et al, 2014; Kashima and Grueter, 2017; Grasselli et al, 2018). So far, numerous endogenous TLR ligands have been identified that could play a role in the regulation of CNS physiological processes and in the development and progression of neurodegenerative disorders (Trotta et al, 2014).…”
