The complement system in teleost fish constitutes a cornerstone of innate defence, integrating classical, lectin and alternative activation routes to eliminate pathogens and shape inflammatory ...

The complement system, a central component of innate immunity, exerts a dual influence on cerebral ischaemia, driving both acute tissue injury and later reparative processes. Following arterial ...

Louse-borne relapsing fever is an acute bacterial infection that triggers recurring episodes of high fever. It is caused by the spirochete Borrelia recurre | Immunology ...

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 ...

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 ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways—ways that have important implications for the development of ...

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 ...

Researchers have shown that innate immune training, also known as trained immunity (TRIM), leads to aggravated bone loss in experimental models of periodontitis and inflammatory arthritis. Clinical ...

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 ...
