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 ...

Surfactant proteins, notably SP-A and SP-D, are integral to pulmonary innate immunity. Traditionally recognised for reducing surface tension in the lung, these molecules have emerged as key mediators ...

Tissue-resident macrophages are crucial players in the immune system, acting as the first line of defense and maintaining tissue homeostasis by responding to various environmental challenges and ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital published today in ...

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 ...

Multicellular organisms are a mosaic of different cells, tissues, and systems, each with their own specific function and interactions with other cells within the organism and/or the larger environment ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

Scientists spotlight salutogenesis and the TCF7 gene as powerful tools to fight inflammation, boost longevity, and prevent age-related disease. Study: The 15-Year Survival Advantage: Immune Resilience ...
