Toll-like receptors (TLRs) sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns to activate the production of inflammatory mediators. TLR4 recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and drives the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, often contributing to sepsis. We report that transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7), a non-selective but Ca<sup>2+</sup>-conducting ion channel, mediates the cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> elevations essential for LPS-induced macrophage activation. LPS triggered TRPM7-d ...[more]
