•Fine-tuning of IL-10 production in the host is essential for TB control.•TLR3 deficiency protects mice from BCG infection.•TLR3-PI3K/AKT mediates BCG-induced IL-10 production in macrophages.•Sensing of mycobacterial RNA by TLR3 is responsible for IL-10 induction.•TLR3 is identified as a novel PRR in mycobacterial diseases such as TB or leprosy.

Symptomatic Slow Acting Drugs for Osteoarthritis (SYSADOA), such as hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate (CS) and glucosamine (GlcN) are natural compounds, composed of repeating disaccharides, used to treat patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Many questions about the kinetics and mechanism of action of SYSADOA remain poorly answered. This revie...

A key part of the innate immune system is a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their associated intracellular signalling pathways. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one such group of PRRs that detect pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Activation of the TLRs with their respective agonists results in the activation of intra...
