This can involve, for example, macrophages and innate lymphoid cells. Their interaction with the adaptive immune system through myeloid-derived suppressor cells have also highlighted roles in ...

Perhaps if we could work out the evolutionary history of innate and adaptive immunity, this could help us to understand the intricacies of how our immune system functions and sometimes dysfunctions.

"Who are you?" This question, in its many variations, is almost inevitable in school applications, job interviews or introspective moments. We spend years, perhaps our entire lives, unraveling the ...

Innate immune cells exhibit rapid cytotoxic activity against foreign pathogens and malignant cells, and they have the capacity to launch a counterpart arm, the adaptive immune system. The T-cells ...

Our immune system spans two worlds-;innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells are like troops at the gate ready to hold off invaders and raise the body's alarms.

Many of the cells in the innate immune system produce cytokines or interact with other cells directly to activate the adaptive immune system. In cancer cells, mutations can lead to expression of tumor ...

Trained immunity, a modification of cells in the innate immune system, may represent a new way of protecting poultry from infectious diseases. In a recent review article, researchers from Japan ...

The researchers measured the production of disease-associated cytokines following exposure to stimulation conditions that targeted either the innate immune system, a pre-programmed response network ...

The vegan diet, rich in carbohydrates (75%) and low in fat (10%), triggered responses linked to innate immunity—the body’s ...

R esearch 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 ...

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, ...
