Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

New research reveals that boosting innate immunity may prevent drug-resistant bacterial infections and flu, reducing reliance on antibiotics and antivirals.

After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause ...

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Discover what immunity is and learn effective ways to enhance your immune system for better health and well-being.

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, ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

Research 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 innate immune cells operated ...
