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 ...

The human immune system has evolved throughout history to effectively recognize and adapt to invading pathogens. To combat disease, the human body employs | Immunology ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team has investigated a new combination therapy against cancer. This therapy employs systemic administration of the tissue hormone interferon-I combined with local application of Imiquimod.

How chronic activation of the innate immune system can lead to cancer The newer paper, led by first author Hexiao Wang, Ph.D.

A study led by David Sancho at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid reveals how an increase in intestinal permeability allows the natural gut bacteria to cross the ...

The immune system is our body's defense mechanism against diseases, divided into the innate and adaptive immune systems. The innate immune system acts as a quick response to threats, while the ...

The pervasive influence of the immune system on human health and disease underscores the importance of a mechanistic understanding of immune regulation under pathophysiological conditions such as ...
