The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

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 ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Understanding the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells has important implications for cancer immunotherapies, ...

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

A next-generation cancer vaccine has shown stunning results in mice, preventing up to 88% of aggressive and ...

Research reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of innate immune cells operated ...

In a 2022 study on how nanoparticles affect the immune response in mice, we found that the innate immune response triggered by an initial dose of nanoparticles carrying a drug will also reduce the ...

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle vaccine that prevented melanoma, pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer in ...

This review examines how Western dietary patterns, high in ultra-processed foods, salt, and unhealthy fats, disrupt gut ...
