title: RSA 2004: combined basic research satellite symposium - session two: toll-like receptors and organ damage.
abstract: 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.
