Deprived TLR9 Expression in Apparently Healthy Nasal Mucosa Might Trigger Polyp-Growth in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients

BACKGROUND: The origin of nasal polyps in chronic rhinosinusitis is unknown, but the role of viral infections in polyp growth is clinically well established. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently emerged as key players in our local airway defense against microbes. Among these, TLR9 has gained spe...
