This is part of a series of stories on the protective role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the gut and other tissues, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 infection. One area that hasn’t received all that much ...

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 ...

The human immune system is split into the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Both systems work in harmony to protect us from infections and disease. Here, we discuss their ...

Trained immunity is reshaping our understanding of host defense by demonstrating that innate immune cells once thought to lack memory can be reprogrammed to mount heightened responses to subsequent ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Immunity, researchers reviewed research advancements showing the significant role both innate and adaptive immune systems play in the pathological course of Alzheimer’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the worldwide death toll from Covid-19 surpassed five million two weeks ago, it served as a grim reminder that more than lockdowns and vaccines will be needed to end the pandemic. A new study, ...
