The human immune system is split into the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Both systems work in harmony to protect us from infections and disease. Here, we discuss their ...

At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...

In a recent study published in Nature Immunology, researchers analyzed the innate and adaptive responses to the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Despite the unprecedented global response to SARS-CoV-2, which has generated over 250,000 publications in two years, critical aspects of SARS-CoV-2 biology, pathogenesis, and immunomodulation remain ...

The secret may lie in an “innate” immune response that targets unrecognized invaders, scientists say. By Apoorva Mandavilli Why the coronavirus affects children much less severely than adults has ...
