The immune system’s first encounter with a virus or vaccine establishes a “starting template” that shapes its response to new ...

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 ...

Trained immunity provides a unifying framework linking innate immune memory to both protective and maladaptive inflammation ...

The complement component C5a and its receptors, C5aR1 and C5aR2, are central to the orchestration of innate immunity. C5a is a potent anaphylatoxin generated during complement activation, acting as a ...

Intelectins represent a family of carbohydrate‐binding proteins that form a crucial component of the innate immune system. These proteins are evolutionarily conserved across chordates and play key ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pioneering research led by Brazilians describes the immune system's reactions in detail in the first living patient to ...

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 ...

Background: Among patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) evaluated in our clinic, there appears to be a subset that can be clinically distinguished from other ASD children because of frequent ...

Cervical health depends on immunity, gut balance and lifestyle choices. Experts explain how holistic practices, stress ...
