Exposure to a common fungal molecule can reprogram immune cells in the lungs, causing them to overreact to infection-like ...

A compound found in fungal cell walls can reprogram immune cells in the lungs, potentially worsening inflammation during infections.

Chronic inflammation in response to lipoprotein accumulation in the arterial wall is central in the development of atherosclerosis. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in this process.

Chronic inflammation in response to lipoprotein accumulation in the arterial wall is central in the development of atherosclerosis. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in this process.

This vaccine can boost the adaptive immune system, and scientists have now shown that a molecule known as lactate is involved in this process. The findings have been reported in Cell.

Fish are special because they’re the evolutionarily oldest living animals with T cells — key players in the adaptive immune system, Yang says.

Recall that both the innate and adaptive cells of the immune system are involved in anti-tumor activity. Factors of the immune system can either promote or reduce immunity. Activating, or ...

“Not only did we see a shift toward cells involved in adaptive immunity, but we also observed a dampening in the levels of inflammatory proteins in the treated animals,” Ross said.

SIGLEC1 participates in immune cell interactions, facilitating antigen presentation and adaptive immune recognition.

Innate vs Adaptive Immunity In this article, we explore innate and adaptive immunity, the key cells and molecules involved in each and their roles in protecting us.

B cells are thought to play a critical role in innate and adaptive immunity, but their exact role in anti-tumor immunity remains unknown. Researchers with expertise in immunology collaborated with ...
