A team involving researchers from Wroclaw Medical University analyzed studies of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder. They found ...

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 ...

Deep within the cellular landscape, a quiet failure was taking place, impeding a potentially successful form of cancer treatment. For years, scientists hoped an essential part of the 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 ...

Bacteria in lung tumors may boost the activation of innate immune cells in the presence of a common vitamin metabolite, ...

Influenza continues to cause major illness each year in the United States, leading to more than 35,000 deaths annually.

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 ...

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, ...

New research identifies long-lived lung immune cells that support protective T-cell memory, suggesting galectin-1 could enhance flu vaccines.

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 ...
