Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

Microbial threats against human health are only growing. Luckily, researchers are developing new vaccines that are up to the ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Cologne has identified a protein called ANKIB1 that acts as a volume dial for the body’s frontline immune defenses, controlling how strongly cells ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

The innate immune cells use a host of pattern recognition receptors to sense and identify foreign parts of an invading pathogen, such as the DNA of a virus. DNA-sensing is accomplished through a ...

Blyth is the founder and former CEO of LIfT BioSciences, a company developing neutrophil-based immunotherapies designed to ...

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 ...

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 ...
