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 system has two separate responses, which are orchestrated to optimize protection against pathogens. The first response is known as innate immunity. This first wave of protection provides ...
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) play central roles in immune recognition, engaging diverse endogenous and exogenous ligands through their C-type lectin-like ...
Phospholipases PLA1, PLA2, PLC, and PLD hydrolyze phospholipids to produce corresponding lysophospholipids and fatty acids. Red arrows indicate the corresponding hydrolysis sites. B) Phospholipases ...
Our immune system is much older than we think. Long before dinosaurs existed, early life forms had developed a powerful ...
When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...
For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...
Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and carboplatin versus paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line treatment for Chinese patients with ovarian cancer: A multi-center, randomized, open-label trial. This ...
