All cellular life—from humans to bacteria—possesses two layers of immunity: innate and adaptive. Scientists have long ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

The innate response's job is to assess the threat and determine how best to handle it. When it has a firm grasp on the situation, and if it can't deal with the threat itself, the innate response ...

Researchers have shown that innate immune training, also known as trained immunity (TRIM), leads to aggravated bone loss in experimental models of periodontitis and inflammatory arthritis. Clinical ...

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Kiel University (CAU) have examined immune system function in ...

Kidney cells are continuously exposed to ischemic, metabolic, toxic, and immunological stressors. These insults activate a conserved repertoire of ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

Why do some vaccines protect for a lifetime, while threats like tumors and viruses present such an ongoing challenge? The ...
