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 ...

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, ...

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

Multicellular organisms are a mosaic of different cells, tissues, and systems, each with their own specific function and interactions with other cells within the organism and/or the larger environment ...

Researchers at LMU have elucidated why certain RNA modifications do not trigger an immune response—a key mechanism for RNA therapeutics. The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense ...

Research from Radboud university medical center 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 ...

Researchers have observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet. Scientists closely monitored various ...

One of the central components of the immune system is the enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which acts as a guard, detecting foreign DNA and initiating an immune response. If cGAS is not properly ...
