The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

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 immune system has two separate responses, which are orchestrated to optimize protection against pathogens. The first response is known as innate immuni | Immunology ...

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

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

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

Virus-associated cancers are a significant and persistent global health challenge, providing unique insight into the relationship between chronic infection ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the ...

Researchers at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist have shown that engineered macrophages can infiltrate brain tumor sites, recognize cancer cells, and destroy them in preclinical mouse models, ...
