Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

New research reveals that boosting innate immunity may prevent drug-resistant bacterial infections and flu, reducing reliance on antibiotics and antivirals.

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component of this system are pattern recognition receptors, which recognize non-self ...

After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause ...

SARS-CoV-2 has an enzyme that can counteract a cell's innate defense mechanism against viruses, explaining why it is more infectious than the previous SARS and MERS-causing viruses. The discovery may ...

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 ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses one of the greatest threats to global public health, with excessive antibiotic use driving the emergence of ...

Researchers have shown that innate immune training, also known as trained immunity (TRIM), leads to aggravated bone loss in experimental models of periodontitis and inflammatory arthritis. Clinical ...
