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 ...

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 ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

Inflammation is a vital part of the immune response, but it seems that the system can sometimes go awry, resulting in chronic ...

Researchers from the School of Dental Medicine and international collaborators from Dresden Germany investigated the effects of training the innate immune system in experimental models of chronic ...

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 ...

STF-1623, a new drug candidate, boosts innate immunity by blocking ENPP1, helping the body fight solid tumors once resistant to immunotherapy.

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapy, which primes the body's immune system to fight off tumors, has historically focused on harnessing T ...
