Stanford Medicine researchers developed a nasal spray vaccine that protected mice against viruses, bacteria and allergens — a ...

Traditionally, vaccines protect against one particular pathogen, but in this study, Stanford Medicine researchers created a vaccine that successfully offered immunity from respiratory viruses, ...

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

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

At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how the use of a radiation-based immunogenic vaccine combined with a macrophage “checkpoint inhibitor” can boost innate and ...

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 ...
