The ability of cells in the human body to recognize structural features of invading pathogens to activate protective antipathogen defences is the cornerstone of innate immunity. Sensing these ...

Our body is constantly surveilled by innate immune cells, ready to initiate host defense or repair responses. Upon recognizing molecular patterns associated with pathogens or damage, innate immune ...

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

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 ...
