Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

An innovative approach supercharges the innate immune system to provide a first line of defence against respiratory infections.

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

Discover what immunity is and learn effective ways to enhance your immune system for better health and well-being.

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 ...

New research reveals that boosting innate immunity may prevent drug-resistant bacterial infections and flu, reducing reliance on antibiotics and antivirals.

Researchers suggest a vaccine could replace multiple jabs every year for seasonal respiratory infections and be on hand in the event of a new pandemic.

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune ...
