Researchers uncovered a signaling cascade that regulates interferon production during viral infection. The mechanism relies on a specific molecular modification that organizes antiviral signaling ...

Microbial threats against human health are only growing. Luckily, researchers are developing new vaccines that are up to the ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Cologne has identified a protein called ANKIB1 that acts as a volume dial for the body’s frontline immune defenses, controlling how strongly cells ...

Blyth is the founder and former CEO of LIfT BioSciences, a company developing neutrophil-based immunotherapies designed to ...

The NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), a molecule pivotal for immune system development and function, shows significant yet complex potential as a therapeutic target. The comprehensive review, published by ...

An experimental treatment protects mice from COVID-19, flu, bacteria, and more.

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against potential ...

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 ...

The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...
