Summary of Meeting
The discovery of evolutionarily conserved immune genes and pathways has led to an explosive discovery phase in innate immunity. These pathways include TLR, NLR, C-type lectin Receptor, and the helicase-containing anti-viral proteins. These novel pathways merge the innate and adaptive branches of immunity, and converge on a wide range of disorders including infectious diseases, inflammation and autoimmunity. All of the above have systemic effects that can affect the outcome of a wide range of diseases ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disorders.
