Emerging viral infections continue to pose major challenges to global human and animal health, as highlighted by recent Mpox ...

C-Type lectin receptors (CLRs) constitute a family of pattern recognition receptors expressed primarily on myeloid cells that detect carbohydrate moieties on fungal cell walls. Through recognition of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The innate immune system, located in the skin and the mucous membranes is a highly complex physical and chemical barrier providing a first line defense ...

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 ...

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 ...

Low-input Promoter Capture Hi-C helped connect disease-associated variants to target genes in rare innate lymphoid cells.

Unlike transient innate immune activation, trained immunity is characterized by long-lasting but reversible functional reprogramming of monocytes, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and ...
