Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

Experts say immune health isn’t about never getting sick. Instead, researchers increasingly focus on “immune resilience,” the ...

Microbial threats against human health are only growing. Luckily, researchers are developing new vaccines that are up to the ...

The finding suggests other chemo drugs, too, may be making cancer cells cause a surprising immune-system reaction.

From your digestive system to sleep - here are the overlooked signals which indicate that it could be struggling ...

The immune system has two separate responses, which are orchestrated to optimize protection against pathogens. The first ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic B cells. While autoreactive T cells are key ...

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 ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...
