Scientists have used artificial intelligence to upgrade plant immune systems, potentially revolutionizing how crops like tomatoes and potatoes can defend against harmful bacteria. By reengineering ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne and University Hospital Cologne have determined that the novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines not only induce acquired immune responses such as antibody ...

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

Our immune systems are composed of many types of blood cells that protect us from viruses, bacteria and even cancer. These diverse cell types each perform distinct functions and must synergize to ...

Research reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of innate immune cells operated ...

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 ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

For decades, many of us have thought we could “boost” our immune systems with vitamin C or herbs, which would fight contagious illnesses, such as colds and the flu. But in reality, there are no quick ...

One of the hallmarks of aging is inflammation, but why does it happen? Investigator Randal Halfmann, Ph.D., shares insights into how our cells may be pre-committed to self-destruction, fueling the ...
