Surfactant proteins, notably SP-A and SP-D, are integral to pulmonary innate immunity. Traditionally recognised for reducing surface tension in the lung, these molecules have emerged as key mediators ...
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 ...
In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital published today in ...
Researchers highlight how exercise and dietary strategies may complement immunotherapy by improving immune function, tumour perfusion, and quality of life.
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 ...

A study has traced immune activity at high resolution in the first living recipient of a gene-edited pig kidney and has reported that – even after clinicians suppressed T-cell rejection – ...
Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...
Both autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are characterised by bouts of hyperactivation of immune reactions ...
Orthopedic infections are common complications following surgery or trauma to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and ...
