Plant immunity is largely initiated at the cellular level, with each cell capable of autonomous detection and response, while ...

Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease, infects an estimated 390 million people and causes around 20,000 deaths worldwide each year. New research suggests the skin is a major site of immune ...

Imagine that plants could tell us exactly when they're stressed, infected, or being eaten by insects, by lighting up. A new ...

From your digestive system to sleep, here are the overlooked signals that indicate your health could be struggling ...

Pulmonary expert Noah Greenspan, DPT, discusses long COVID, early pandemic uncertainty, and how vaccination may help reduce ...

New research suggests the skin does much more than detect damage or keep pathogens out. By tracing how skin cells respond to ...

Medical implant failure such as that of dental fixtures may be due to a persistent inflammatory response of the patient's own immune system.

Researchers have engineered Arabidopsis plants that emit visible light when their immune defenses switch on, creating a living sensor that tracks how plants fight pathogens in real time. The work, ...

Patients with RA who use abatacept mount little humoral or cell-mediated responses to the recombinant zoster vaccine, with more injection-site reactions but similar RA flare rates compared with ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

A fourth dose of bivalent or monovalent BA.1-adapted BNT162b2 vaccines was safe and elicited robust neutralizing responses in adults aged 18 to 55 years.

This article explores how advanced immune imaging technologies enable real-time visualization of immune responses, improving understanding of inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer therapy outcomes, and ...
