Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component ...

The immune system regulates disease response throughout our bodies. Interestingly, two separate responses act as barriers to prevent the spread of infections. When first introduced to a disease, the ...

Trained immunity in alveolar macrophages can lead to damaging lung inflammation, confirming the importance of context in this phenomenon.

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component ...

Mitochondria have primarily been known as the energy-producing components of cells. But scientists are increasingly ...

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

Invertebrates such as insects only have the innate immune system, but they also possess a form of immunization through contact with pathogens (immune priming). Until now, there has been no study ...

During pregnancy, innate immune mechanisms at the maternal–fetal interface are important for protecting the developing fetus from pathogens. However, excessive immune activation can be harmful ...

The immune system has evolved to act as a first responder against infections, and scientists have revealed how it knows when to activate.

Select the journal/section where you want your idea to be submitted: The immune system is a natural surveillance mechanism that assesses and eliminates potential threats to human health. In the ...
