EPFL scientists have now discovered that a DNA-sensing mechanism of the innate immune system - which is pivotal for the immediate defense against pathogens -- controls cellular senescence. The work is ...

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) of the immune system are involved in allergic diseases. But currently, therapy targeting ILC2s is not available. Now, researchers have identified a novel ...

Scientists at UCSF QBI, University College London and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reported breakthrough findings in a study published Sept. 21, 2023, on convergent evolutionary ...

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 ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic B cells. While autoreactive T cells are key ...

The immune system has two separate responses, which are orchestrated to optimize protection against pathogens. The first ...

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Monash University researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the body's immune system that helps control the inflammatory response to infection. The discovery could help pave the way for more ...
