Our innate immune system has developed over thousands of years and is present in all vertebrates, from reptiles to fish to mammals. It is something we are born with and it can protect us from the ...

Activating STING-mediated innate immunity requires second messenger molecules to bind onto the protein. In this next part of our series, we will delve deeper into the discovery that uncovered a ...

We believe the innate immune system may play a critical role. We’re also asking what other self and non-self cells our bodies might detect differently. This could explain how our bodies recognize and ...

The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense, made up of general pathogen-fighting cells that are designed to recognize and fight off all kinds of pathogens, including bacteria ...

The cells of innate immunity act like a patrol system, searching for any invaders. These innate cells patrol almost every part of our body, from our skin to our nose, lungs and even internal organs.

Several studies have now demonstrated that trained immunity occurs in the airways to several pathogens and products, while its utility is yet to be determined.

The immune system comprises two immunity strategies: the innate and the acquired (adaptive) immune system. The innate immune system provides general protection from pathogens and must react quickly.

Innate immune recognition of SARS-CoV-2 acts as a fundamental first line of resistance, triggers adaptive immunity, and drives the immunopathologic effects of infection. 64 The cellular sensors ...

Innate immunity provides built-in defense against widespread characteristics of bacteria and viruses, while adaptive immunity memorizes individual pathogens that a person has already encountered.
