Perhaps if we could work out the evolutionary history of innate and adaptive immunity, this could help us to understand the intricacies of how our immune system functions and sometimes dysfunctions.

This can involve, for example, macrophages and innate lymphoid cells. Their interaction with the adaptive immune system through myeloid-derived suppressor cells have also highlighted roles in ...

What is …?” is a section-wide column that explores the STEM majors at UW and explains what they are. This week, c Sarah ...

Your immune system naturally declines as you age, but there are ways to slow immune decline and support overall health.

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects ...

Innate immune cells exhibit rapid cytotoxic activity against foreign pathogens and malignant cells, and they have the capacity to launch a counterpart arm, the adaptive immune system. The T-cells ...

This study is published in Developmental Cell. Previous approaches have largely focused on the adaptive immune system, that ...

Clinical research has long focused on ways to harness the actions of the immune system. From vaccines to immunotherapies, ...

Many of the cells in the innate immune system produce cytokines or interact with other cells directly to activate the adaptive immune system. In cancer cells, mutations can lead to expression of tumor ...

"Trained innate immunity (TRIM) has emerged as a major immunological principle that challenges the dogma that memory is restricted to adaptive immunity," says Hajishengallis. "So, a better ...
