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

Innate immunity is the oldest and most conserved facet of the immune system. It is responsible for an anti-infective response and it has been intrinsically linked to the initiating of inflammation.

Gentle nasal spray vaccines against COVID, the flu and RSV are coming. They may work better than shots in the arm ...

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 ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -; ways that have important implications for the development of ...

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 ...

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 ...

An ancient gene mutation among First Nations inhabitants of Oceania may make them more susceptible to infectious diseases like influenza, according to a new study by scientists at the University of ...
