Innate immunity achieves our primary host defense by recognizing invading microorganisms through pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and by reacting to tissue damage signals called ...

These molecules are collectively known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and they are expressed in a wide variety of microorganisms, including those that do not cause disease.

Alcohol and its metabolites disrupt the gut barrier, leading to increased levels of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). These PAMPs trigger the recruitment and activation of immune cells, ...

ARDS denotes acute respiratory distress syndrome, and DAMP damage-associated molecular pattern. The many combinations of infection site, pathogen, acute dysfunction of one or more organs ...
