Why should the immune system not be “boosted,” but instead supported through consistent, healthy habits? Learn how the immune ...

Innate immunity is a cornerstone of the body’s immediate defense against cancer, orchestrating the early recognition and response to tumor cells through key ...

Initial clinical data highlight a differentiated safety and pharmacologic profile for PHST001, including target engagement, innate immune ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Fred Hutch Cancer Center molecular biologist Dr. Kevin Barry just received a $270,000, two-year grant from the American ...

Researchers from Penn’s School of Dental Medicine discovered that training the innate immune system may lead to increased bone loss in inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis and arthritis.

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own ...

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 ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

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 ...

A macrophage that has already fought off one infection does not return to a blank slate. It carries chemical scars, etched ...
