Surfactant proteins, notably SP-A and SP-D, are integral to pulmonary innate immunity. Traditionally recognised for reducing surface tension in the lung, these molecules have emerged as key mediators ...

A new review by Dr. Ruyuan Wang and an international team of researchers explores the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, shedding light on regulatory mechanisms in ...

Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

An evolutionary perspective on immune priming across plants and invertebrates highlights the roles of microbiomes and epigenetic regulation in shaping innate immune memory with promising applications ...

Very early in the COVID-19 pandemic clinical trials in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed that corticosteroids like dexamethasone reduced mortality, but they were harmful when applied at ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...

Innate Pharma (IPHA – Research Report), the Healthcare sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth from H.C. Wainwright maintained a Buy rating on the ...

An investigational Toll-like receptor (TLR) antagonist was effective in reducing biomarkers and clinical symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a pilot trial, evidence that the innate ...

A fungal infection has been shown to trigger a fruit fly’s own immune system to destroy brain cells leading to signs of neurodegeneration, a new study has found. The paper published in PLOS Biology ...
