Stanford Medicine researchers developed a nasal spray vaccine that protected mice against viruses, bacteria and allergens — a step toward a “universal vaccine.” ...

An innovative approach supercharges the innate immune system to provide a first line of defence against respiratory ...

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral signaling. The findings clarify an early defense step and may inform ...

A novel study using a mouse model has found that the absence of the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) protein during development ...

Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

A vaccine usually trains your immune system to recognize one target. Here, the target is basically “anything that doesn’t belong in the lungs.

Humans are protected by two branches of the immune system. Innate immunity provides built-in defense against widespread characteristics of bacteria and viruses, while adaptive immunity memorizes ...

Traditionally, vaccines protect against one particular pathogen, but in this study, Stanford Medicine researchers created a ...

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.

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 ...
