Trained immunity provides a unifying framework linking innate immune memory to both protective and maladaptive inflammation ...

Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

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 ...

Novel research led by Brazilian scientists describes the immune system's reactions in detail in the first living patient to ...

The relationship between inflammation and cancer represents one of the central paradoxes in modern tumor immunology. On one hand, chronic inflammation is a ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

How can a tuberculosis vaccine also treat cancer—and potentially make other immunotherapies more effective? That’s the question researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Weill ...

A new study shows human immune systems differ across populations, raising new questions for medicine and global drug research ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...
