Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) remains the leading immunological cause of kidney allograft loss, yet its humoral origins are incompletely understood.

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 ...

Neutrophils are a cornerstone of the innate immune response and a primary source of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme-containing enzyme historically ...

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 ...

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 ...

The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, but by inducing trained immunity it also protects against many more respiratory infections. International research led by Radboud University Medical ...

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Louse-borne relapsing fever is an acute bacterial infection that triggers recurring episodes of high fever. It is caused by ...

We sometimes hear about the benefits of “boosting” our immune system, but what we really want to do is support our immune system on an ongoing basis. People often think of the immune system as ...

Innate immunity constitutes the body’s first line of defence against infection and tissue disruption. It relies on physical barriers such as skin and mucosa, cellular sentinels including neutrophils, ...

Inflammaging, a portmanteau of “inflammation” and “aging,” refers to the chronic, low-grade, sterile (infection-free) systemic inflammation that develops with advancing age. Coined in 2000 by Italian ...
