Innate Immunity is a nonspecific host defense mechanism against foreign antigens. It is the first line of defense in a host and occurs immediately or within hours after exposure. This type of immunity ...

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 ...

Immunologists have identified an important intermediate step in innate immune defense. If bacteria enter the body, it often takes just a few minutes for the innate immune system to recognise them as ...

In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers reviewed selected acute-phase proteins concerning their production, structure, and function. The advent of severe acute ...

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 ...

BUFFALO, NY- January 25, 2023 – A new research paper was published in Aging (listed as "Aging (Albany NY)" by MEDLINE/PubMed and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 1, entitled, “The innate ...

One of the central components of the immune system is the enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which acts as a guard, detecting foreign DNA and initiating an immune response. If cGAS is not properly ...

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

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and carboplatin versus paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line treatment for Chinese patients with ovarian cancer: A multi-center, randomized, open-label trial. This ...
