Functional expression of endogenous ligands of TLR4 and associated inflammatory markers in monocytes and endothelial cells during normotensive pregnancy, and pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia

A leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality and morbidity is PE (PE). The innate immune system recognises pathogens through transmembrane proteins called toll-like receptors (TLRs).
