PRRs function by recognizing specific molecular patterns associated with pathogens or cellular damage. Upon binding to their ligands, PRRs initiate a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways. This leads to the production of cytokines, chemokines, and other inflammatory mediators that orchestrate the immune response. The activation of these pathways results in the recruitment of additional immune cells to the site of infection or injury, thereby promoting the clearance of pathogens and the healing process.
