Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

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 ...

Your immune system is your body’s built-in defense network, working nonstop to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other ...

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, ...

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 ...

Investigators trialed injection of an immune-stimulating substance (poly-ICLC) into the prostate gland using MRI-ultrasound fusion technology in patients scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy.

There was a significant association for shingles vaccination with lower inflammation scores, slower epigenetic and transcriptomic aging, and a lower composite biological aging score, suggesting ...

The emerging role of SETD2 in regulating immune cell function is shedding light on potential therapeutic strategies for a range of immune-related diseases. As a key methyltransferase, SETD2 ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

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

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 ...
