RSA 2004: combined basic research satellite symposium - session two: toll-like receptors and organ damage.
This article summarizes the proceedings of the RSA 2004 Combined Basic Research Satellite Meeting convened at the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina, Vancouver, BC. The session "Toll-like receptors and organ damage" featured three speakers and was chaired by Drs. Steve Nelson and Craig McClain. The presentations were 1) Toll-like receptor mediated macrophage activation-modulation by acute alcohol administration in mice by Stephen Pruett, 2) Alcoholic liver disease: Crossroads of TLRs and oxidative stress by Gavin Arteel, and 3) The role of TLR2 and TLR4-mediated signals in liver injury by Gyongyi Szabo.
