The field of cancer immunology has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly with the emergence of immunotherapy as a key pillar in the ...

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 ...

Kupando has raised an additional €10M in Series A financing, bringing its total to €23M, to fund Phase 1b trials of KUP101.

Immunity is orchestrated by two responses referred to as the innate and adaptive immune systems. Each system works to ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a robust model for dissecting the fundamental mechanisms of innate immunity and host–pathogen interactions. Despite lacking an adaptive immune system, C. elegans ...

Unlike transient innate immune activation, trained immunity is characterized by long-lasting but reversible functional reprogramming of monocytes, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and ...

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 ...
