This special issue of Innate Immunity is dedicated to Andrei E. Medvedev who passed away suddenly nearly a year ago. It was Andrei who conceived the idea of assembling a special issue of Innate Immunity that brought together articles written by individuals with a particular interest in the regulation of TLR biology. Andrei was known to all as a generous and able collaborator, as well as a rigorous and meticulous scientist who developed a remarkable and comprehensive knowledge of TLR biology. I am certain that Andrei would have been extremely pleased with the high quality of the peer-reviewed articles that comprise this special issue of Innate Immunity.

本期《先天免疫》专为安德烈·梅德韦杰夫（Andrei E. Medvedev）撰写，他于一年前突然去世。正是安德烈（Andrei）提出了“先天免疫”特刊的构想，该思想汇集了对TLR生物学调控特别感兴趣的个人撰写的文章。众所周知，安德烈（Andrei）是一位慷慨而有能力的合作者，也是一位严谨而细致的科学家，他对TLR生物学有着非凡而全面的了解。我敢肯定，安德烈（Andrei）对构成本期《先天免疫》特刊的同行评审文章的高品质感到非常满意。
