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

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

Viral infections remain a significant global health challenge, as exemplified by recent pandemics. The complexity of virus-host interplay poses major ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -- ways that have important implications for the development of ...

Houston Methodist researchers have identified an immune pathway that promotes the formation of a cell that can develop into new tissues and organs. In a new study published in the journal Stem Cells ...

Our immune system spans two worlds—innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells are like troops at the gate ready to hold off invaders and raise the body's alarms. Adaptive immune cells are specialists ...

A vaccine usually trains your immune system to recognize one target. Here, the target is basically “anything that doesn’t ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

Eicke Latz studied medicine at the Georg-August University in Göttingen and the Freie Universität Berlin, following which, he worked as an intensive care physician at the Charité Universitätsmedizin.

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 ...
