The immune response to Plasmodium falciparum malaria encompasses a complex interplay between innate and adaptive systems, tailored to each stage of the parasite’s life cycle. During the ...

An early and effective immune response is crucial for resolving viral infections and preventing post-infectious complications. The complement system, a pivotal element of antiviral immunity, is a ...

Invasive and superficial fungal infections pose a growing global health challenge, especially in individuals with weakened immunity. The host employs a coordinated network of innate and adaptive ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

Scientists have discovered novel immune responses that help explain how some individuals avoid getting COVID-19. Using single-cell sequencing, researchers studied immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 ...

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and autoimmune conditions when it turns against the body. The protein, Granzyme K, ...

A consistent biological barrier that stops the immune system from making the antibodies most needed to protect the nose and ...

Immune cell dysregulation in critically ill patients correlates with higher risks of severe infection and mortality, highlighting the need for precision medicine. The Human Immune Dysregulation ...

The immune system is a complex response of various cells that detect and elicit mechanisms to eliminate disease. This orchestrated response in healthy individuals overcomes infections and foreign ...
