Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
2 hours (reperfusion)

TLR5 modulation should not yet change ischaemia-reperfusion management; leaves open its protective role distinct from other TLRs in humans.
Does TLR5 deficiency exacerbate cardiac injury and inflammation induced by myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion in mice?
TLR5 plays a protective role in limiting myocardial damage, inflammation, and functional compromise after myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion, contrasting with the detrimental roles of other TLRs.
