The dangers for infection aren’t only caused by microbes, but also by the molecular signals they release. To detect and neutralize these signals, may be the next era for infectious disease control.” — ...

The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

The immune system has two separate responses, which are orchestrated to optimize protection against pathogens. The first response is known as innate immuni | Immunology ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo. Using cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force ...

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 ...

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

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune memory’ because of the body’s ability to remember previously encountered ...

Macrophages remain ready to fight infection thanks to signaling molecules left behind by previous infections. That is according to new research from scientists at the University of California, Los ...

The finding suggests other chemo drugs, too, may be making cancer cells cause a surprising immune-system reaction.

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 ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.
