Still does the job.

"Then Maguire-Zeiss and her team tested a drug, developed by researchers at the University of Colorado, which specifically targets TLR1/2. They also tested the hypertension drug candesartan, which can target TLR2. Both agents significantly reduced inflammation."

In any case, I didn't mean to suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of these herbs were all solely dependent on targeting TLR. Sorry if I confused you.
