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 ...

Researchers highlight how exercise and dietary strategies may complement immunotherapy by improving immune function, tumour perfusion, and quality of life.

In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Immunology, researchers explored ways galectins can impact immunity and discussed the opportunities and challenges in the field. Galectins comprise ...

Trained immunity enhances innate immune responses, yet a Western lifestyle may lead to maladaptive trained immunity and drive ...

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) of the immune system are involved in allergic diseases. But currently, therapy targeting ILC2s is not available. Now, researchers have identified a novel ...

Scientists at UCSF QBI, University College London and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reported breakthrough findings in a study published Sept. 21, 2023, on convergent evolutionary ...

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against potential ...

Trained immunity provides a unifying framework linking innate immune memory to both protective and maladaptive inflammation ...

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” ...

A new review by Dr. Ruyuan Wang and an international team of researchers explores the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, shedding light on regulatory mechanisms in ...

A history of obesity caused by a high-fat diet produces changes in innate immunity that can promote inflammatory disease – changes that persist even after weight loss and a return to normal metabolism ...
