Conjunctival Expression of Toll-Like Receptor 3 Plays a Pathogenic Role in the Formation of Ultraviolet Light–Induced Pterygium

PURPOSE: Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), as a damage-associated molecular pattern sensor, can detect self-RNA released from necrotic cells induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation exposure. Pterygium formation is believed to be a tumorigenesis-like process induced by UVB exposure. In this study, we aim...
