The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component of this system are pattern recognition receptors, which recognize non-self ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...

Nucleic acid immunity involves a sophisticated set of mechanisms for identifying nucleic acids by immune receptors, playing a vital role in physiological ...

The interplay between viruses and tumor progression represents a critical area of study, as certain oncogenic viruses, such as HPV, EBV, and HBV, are known ...

A groundbreaking study has revealed that a rare gene variant, APOE3-R136S, delays the onset of Alzheimer's disease by ...

Corner Therapeutics, an immunotherapy company pioneering novel approaches to cancer and infection, today announced that its Distinguished Scientist, Scientific Co-founder and Board Member, Professor ...

A recent research finding adds to evidence that brain inflammation is a major driver of neurodegenerative disorders such as ...

Trained immunity is a form of innate immune cell memory that is being developed as a novel immunotherapeutic approach for cancer treatment.

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 ...

But BCG also reduces infant mortality by reducing other infections. The latter occurs through a mechanism called trained immunity. Apparently, the BCG vaccine also raises innate immunity to a ...
