Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

A research team at the University of Münster has investigated for the first time how the confrontation of bacteria with hosts ...

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 ...

The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the alarm, mobilizing dendritic cells to fan the flames of inflammation.

However, recent research has challenged this belief, showing that the innate immune system can be trained. This emerging principle, known as trained innate immunity, enables the innate immune system ...

Now, researchers from Penn’s School of Dental Medicine and international collaborators have investigated the effects of training the innate immune system in experimental models of two chronic ...

The immune cells of the innate immune system (i.e., neutrophils and eosinophils) are the first recruited to the site of tissue injury or damage via blood vessels and lymphatic system, followed by ...

Current projects Granulocyte phenotype and function in guttate and plaque psoriasis, in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and in COVID-19. In-depth characterization of disease mechanisms in LCH. Our ...

Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, China, have discovered that shutting down part of the innate immune system increases anti-tumor activity. In a paper, "Noncanonical ...

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 ...

PMNs are also known as granulocytes. They play a central role in the innate immune system. In normal conditions, the most common PMN by far is the neutrophil. These make up the largest amount of blood ...
