Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs ...

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

The new GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA vaccine can be delivered as a nasal spray. Three doses protected mice from infection from SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses for three months, and reduced the viral load in ...

A new Stanford study marks a big step forward in the creation of a new kind of vaccine that offers protection against a range of infections at once.

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...

The innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defence, rapidly detecting and responding to external pathogens and internal damage. Recent advances in the field have highlighted the ...

Cellular Innate immunity acts as the body's initial defense against pathogens, including viruses. It represents an evolutionarily ancient system, providing rapid but nonspecific responses to a wide ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways - ways that have important implications for the development of ...

A vaccine usually trains your immune system to recognize one target. Here, the target is basically “anything that doesn’t belong in the lungs.

A new Stanford study marks a big step forward in the creation of a new kind of vaccine that offers protection against a range of infections at once. Traditionally, vaccines protect against one ...

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 ...

A novel study using a mouse model has found that the absence of the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) protein during development ...
