Research reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of innate immune cells operated ...

Your immune system is your body’s built-in defense network, working nonstop to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

Innate immunity constitutes the body’s first line of defence against invading pathogens. This ancient, evolutionarily conserved system is activated within minutes of encountering foreign agents, ...

Researchers from Penn’s School of Dental Medicine discovered that training the innate immune system may lead to increased bone loss in inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis and arthritis.

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital published today in ...

MYC‑driven tumors silence innate immune alarms by clearing R‑loop–derived signals, exposing a new therapeutic angle for targeting MYC without broad inhibition.

SARS-CoV-2 has an enzyme that can counteract a cell's innate defense mechanism against viruses, explaining why it is more infectious than the previous SARS and MERS-causing viruses. The discovery may ...
