He began searching for novel parasite-fighting immune cells. McKenzie knew that IL-25 triggers a class of T cells called type-2 helper T cells (Th2s) to proliferate and produce IL-13, and he wondered ...

A new review in the Journal of Molecular Medicine explains how trained immunity, driven by epigenetic and metabolic ...

Research from Radboud university medical center 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 ...

Researchers from Adelaide University have demonstrated that blocking a specific immune system gene can reduce pancreatic ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways—ways that have important implications for the development of ...

New research in Nature shows that gamma delta T cells rely on their adaptive T cell receptors in real time to mount rapid, ...

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 ...

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 ...

In their publication, Jakobi and his colleagues describe for the first time how the innate immune system fights against bacteria using GBP1 proteins. "The protein surrounds bacteria by forming a sort ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...
