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 ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...

The findings further expand the scientific foundation of Elicio’s AMP platform, which is designed to enhance immune responses by directing therapeutics to the lymph nodes—where immune responses are ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells respond rapidly to infections.

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 ...

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 ...

The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, but by inducing trained immunity it also protects against many more respiratory infections. International research led by Radboud University Medical ...

Unlike transient innate immune activation, trained immunity is characterized by long-lasting but reversible functional reprogramming of monocytes, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have identified a specific chemical modification on the STING protein that appears to lock ...
