Microbes have parts like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP) that act as signals to the body. These signals, called microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), connect with the body's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs). This connection starts the body's natural [immune response](brain://5…
