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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The immune-boosting power of a fever is surprisingly ancient. Cold-blooded creatures like fish typically move to warmer environments to help fight infections. In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

In a recent perspective review, researchers attempt to collate and discuss scientific knowledge on the concept of the ‘immune self’ and use raw T cell assays, nine amino-long pathogen-derived peptides ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

Novel research led by Brazilian scientists describes the immune system's reactions in detail in the first living patient to ...
