The innate/general resistance system and the adaptive system are the two main subsystems of the immune system. To generate an efficient immune response, the innate and adaptive systems constantly ...

An evolutionary perspective on immune priming across plants and invertebrates highlights the roles of microbiomes and epigenetic regulation in shaping innate immune memory with promising applications ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

A discovery could offer new methods for treating HIV, while uncovering the innate immune system's role in other diseases. Human immunodeficiency virus 1, more commonly known as HIV-1, is known for its ...

An immune system that can adapt to a wide range of situations by creating, maintaining, and controlling an adequate immune response is referred to as having immunological fitness. This article will ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...
