Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in ...

This observation can be explained by the concept of "trained immunity"—the idea that innate immune cells can switch between ...

These therapies employ a different branch of the immune system called innate immunity that can help overcome cancer’s ability to evade immune recognition early in an immune response. By ...

Researchers emphasize that the innate immune system not only activates the adaptive immune response but also plays an essential role in modulating its effectiveness. This crosstalk has led to ...

Innate immunity is an immunological subsystem that comprises the cells and mechanisms that provide the first line of defence from infection in a non-specific manner. Innate immune responses are ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and ...

During pregnancy, the maternal immune system must engage in a fine balancing act: maintaining tolerance to the fetal allograft while restoring innate and adaptive immune mechanisms for protection ...

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

Background Immune disorders are key heart failure (HF) triggers, but little is known about whether the status of immunity ...

In their publication, Jakobi and his colleagues describe for the first time how the innate immune system fights against bacteria using GBP1 proteins. "The protein surrounds bacteria by forming a ...
