The mammalian immune system is an evolutionary wonder. It's capable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells, and it can deploy armies of antibodies against viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi.

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

A schematic overview illustrating how the immune microenvironment is involved in diseases across various systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Targeting cellular ...

Hai-Hui "Howard" Xue, Ph.D., of the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) have shown how a critical pathway is fundamental to the immune system, in a new papers in the journal ...

Northwestern researchers have shown that when it comes to cancer vaccines, arrangement can be just as important as ingredients. By repositioning a small fragment of an HPV protein on a DNA-based ...

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

Throughout the past decade, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a striking principle of vaccine design: ...

It is generally agreed that a number of types of nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin D-deficient rickets, can cause a temporary state of immune deficiency. As a result, children with rickets ...

A genetics‑guided drug, compound 6, targets CARD9 to subtly calm gut inflammation in Crohn’s disease, pointing to safer, longer‑lasting, precision treatments.

The in situ formed hydrogel vaccine creates an immune niche to coordinate the spatiotemporal dynamics of vaccine components and dendritic cells, eliciting durable and enhanced immunity against ...
