Existing immuno-oncology therapies primarily leverage one branch of our immune system—adaptive immunity—by recruiting T cells to fight cancer. A research team led by scientists at the Icahn School of ...

An international team of researchers has found that the immune system reacts to typically high-calorie, Western-style diets in much the same way that it does to bacterial infections, setting in motion ...

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur ...

Human immunodeficiency virus 1, more commonly known as HIV-1, is known for its uncanny ability to evade the immune system. Scientists at Scripps Research and collaborators have now uncovered how our ...

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 ...

The innate immune system plays a crucial role in regulating host-microbe interactions, and especially in providing protection against pathogens that invade the mucosa. Using an intestinal infection ...

Research reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of innate immune cells operated ...

The enigmatic mechanisms that control the human immune system are essential for the body to mount a proper defense against microbial invaders. A greater understanding of these defensive pathways would ...

Research led by Washington State University scientists supports a novel theory that the innate immune system people are born with, can respond differently to specific pathogens. This quality, known as ...

For most people, two of the most frightening diseases are cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. The reason is simple – these diseases are incurable. The widespread fear of them goes much deeper. While many ...
