Molecular Biology
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are a group of proteins expressed by cells of the innate immune system that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). These receptors play a crucial role in the early detection of infectious diseases and the initiation of immune responses, acting as the first line of defense against invading pathogens.
