EPFL scientists have now discovered that a DNA-sensing mechanism of the innate immune system - which is pivotal for the immediate defense against pathogens -- controls cellular senescence. The work is ...

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) of the immune system are involved in allergic diseases. But currently, therapy targeting ILC2s is not available. Now, researchers have identified a novel ...

Our immune system works to fight infections immediately, but also maintain long-term immunity. Two waves of protection help neutralize and eliminate disease, including the innate and adaptive immune ...

Trained immunity enhances innate immune responses, yet a Western lifestyle may lead to maladaptive trained immunity and drive ...

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

In a study published online in Cell, scientists at UCSF QBI, University College London and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reported breakthrough findings on convergent evolutionary ...

Researchers highlight how exercise and dietary strategies may complement immunotherapy by improving immune function, tumour perfusion, and quality of life.
