| Abstract |
In recent years, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have emerged as key receptors which detect microbes and initiate an inflammatory response. The Toll receptor was originally identified and characterized 14 years ago for its role in the embryonic development of the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster. Subsequently, it was also shown to be an essential component of the signaling pathway mediating the anti-fungal host defense in this model organism. New factors involved in the activation of the Toll receptor or in intracytoplasmic signaling during the immune response in Drosophila have recently been identified. The existence of significant functional differences between mammalian TLRs and Drosophila Toll receptors is also becoming apparent. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 October 2023.
All research outputs
#4,125,848
of 24,547,718 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#99
of 703 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,540
of 128,315 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#1
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,547,718 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 703 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 128,315 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
