A novel study using a mouse model has found that the absence of the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) protein during development ...

Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have discovered that immune cells known as macrophages remain ...

New research reveals that boosting innate immunity may prevent drug-resistant bacterial infections and flu, reducing reliance on antibiotics and antivirals.

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

New findings suggest the vaccine may reduce the production of pro-inflammatory mediators to bacterial, fungal or viral infections by reprogramming innate immune cells to regulate inflammation Trinity ...

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component of this system are pattern recognition receptors, which recognize non-self ...

Your immune system is your body’s built-in defense network, working nonstop to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders. Your immune system includes two main parts: the innate ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...
