title: Novel role and regulation of the interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase (IRAK) family proteins.
abstract: The interleukin-1 receptor associated kinases (IRAKs) sit at the bottle neck for the Toll-like-receptor (TLR) mediated signal transduction process controlling host innate immune response. However, the exact role and regulation of IRAKs are still in the early stage and not fully understood. This review intends to summarize the recent advancement in this important topic and point out areas that need further intensive investigation.
