These cells are thought to play an important role in the maintenance of homeostasis in tissues, and can limit immune responses so they don't take on pathological, autoimmune characteristics. The ...

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 ...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) shape trained immunity, balancing infection responses and chronic inflammation, and TLR agonists are promising immunomodulators for infectious diseases and cancer.

Everyone's immune system has two modes -- the innate and the adaptive systems. The innate immune system is mainly comprised of barriers like skin and mucosal surfaces that physically block viruses ...

Our immune system spans two worlds—innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells are like troops at the gate ready to hold off invaders and raise the body's alarms. Adaptive immune cells are ...

The researchers measured the production of disease-associated cytokines following exposure to stimulation conditions that targeted either the innate immune system, a pre-programmed response network ...

Checkpoint inhibitors, such as ​​Merck’s blockbuster Keytruda and AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi, prevent cancer cells from disabling the immune response to tumours. Blyth believes Lift’s Immuno-Modulatory ...

Immunity Unlike the broad attack of the innate defense system, the adaptive immune system attacks pathogens with specific, made-to-order antibodies and cells.

When the innate immune system recognizes a pathogen, it communicates with the adaptive immune system to essentially take over. The adaptive immune system can recognize specific antigens and commit ...
