Background:Respiratory viruses, including influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), coronaviruses, and other emerging zoonotic pathogens, remain ...

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

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a robust model for dissecting the fundamental mechanisms of innate immunity and host–pathogen interactions. Despite lacking an adaptive immune system, C. elegans ...

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against potential ...

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

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 ...

The nanoparticle vaccine allowed the mice’s immune system to produce T cells, white blood cells crucial for fighting ...
