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 ...

The innate immune system sees drugs as threats, but researchers are taking advantage of this response to make cancer therapies more effective.

It starts with a sneeze. Someone on the subway didn't cover their mouth and now a cloud of invisible invaders hangs in the ...

As it does with other pathogens, your immune system sees drugs as foreign invaders to be expelled from your body. But ...

Foal pneumonia is one of the leading causes of disease and death in foals, with severe cases being most commonly caused by ...

A new study shows how bacteria administered to foals via feeding tubes trigger a response in respiratory immune cells.

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 ...

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 ...

Stowers Institute researchers have found that the very thing designed to prevent the body from illness may be a factor in aging and chronic disease.

SARS-CoV-2 has an enzyme that can counteract a cell's innate defense mechanism against viruses, explaining why it is more infectious than the previous SARS and MERS-causing viruses. The discovery may ...

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 ...
