The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a more complete understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to exploit "trained immunity" for the development of new ...

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 ...

Activates innate and adaptive immune pathways, including increased antigen-experienced CD8 + T cells, activated CD4 + T cells, and Ki67 + NK cells. Induces immune-regulating chemokines CXCL9 and ...

Surfactant proteins, notably SP-A and SP-D, are integral to pulmonary innate immunity. Traditionally recognised for reducing surface tension in the lung, these molecules have emerged as key mediators ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how the use of a radiation-based immunogenic vaccine combined with a macrophage “checkpoint inhibitor” can boost innate and ...

B cells are thought to play a critical role in innate and adaptive immunity, but their exact role in anti-tumor immunity remains unknown. Researchers with expertise in immunology collaborated with ...

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 ...

At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is one of the world’s oldest and most widely used vaccines. It was developed in the early 20th century to provide protection from tuberculosis. Surprisingly, this ...

“We know for multiple reasons why smoking is bad in terms of its cancer risk, but here we're showing additional information that it's also probably negatively impacting your immune response. And that ...
