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 ...

Scientists say they have come up with a promising strategy for development of broad-spectrum antiviral therapies, that centers around promoting a strong immune response capable of stopping a number of ...

Human immunodeficiency virus 1, more commonly known as HIV-1, is known for its uncanny ability to evade the immune system. Scientists at Scripps Research and collaborators have now uncovered how our ...

In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Immunology, researchers explored ways galectins can impact immunity and discussed the opportunities and challenges in the field. Galectins comprise ...

Inflammation and increased mucus production are typical symptoms of worm infections and allergies. This immune response involves our innate immune cells, but their exact functions are not yet fully ...

Trained immunity is reshaping our understanding of host defense by demonstrating that innate immune cells once thought to lack memory can be reprogrammed to mount heightened responses to subsequent ...

As ESMO 2025 came to a close last month, pharmaphorum had the pleasure of catching up with Dr Sandeep Reddy, Chief Medical ...

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, ...

RIDE-001, a first-in-class nanomedicine, effectively trained myeloid progenitor cells to elicit myeloid-driven anticancer innate immune responses, as demonstrated in preclinical studies across multipl ...

Researchers at the University of Kansas have discovered a human gene, the protein PARP14, plays a role in regulating ...
