Adaptive immunity is a central defence system essential for long-term and highly specific protection against pathogens through the precise molecular recognition of antigens by lymphocytes. However, ...
HLA-B*27 confers a strong risk of developing spondyloarthritis (SpA), which includes axial SpA with or without peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, acute anterior uveitis and gastrointestinal ...
A new review by Dr. Ruyuan Wang and an international team of researchers explores the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, shedding light on regulatory mechanisms in ...
What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...
The immune-boosting power of a fever is surprisingly ancient. Cold-blooded creatures like fish typically move to warmer environments to help fight infections. In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that ...
