Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute a critical family of proteins that detect conserved microbial structures, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), to rapidly initiate the innate ...

Toll-like receptor (TLR) and saponin adjuvants have each improved vaccine potency and safety. Now, researchers at Stanford University report that combining them in a nanoparticle format improves not ...

What if bacteria held the keys to a part of our own immunity? For several years, some scientists have been exploring ...

Researchers from the University of Bonn are using an innovative method to watch immune receptors go about their business. Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, ...

Ryan Allen, an assistant professor of physiology and cell biology at the UAMS, will share a current project from his lab dedicated to developing a drug-responsive mouse model of atherosclerosis.

Vaccines work pretty well. But with a little help, they could work better. Stanford researchers have developed a new vaccine helper that combines two kinds of adjuvants, ingredients that improve a ...

Although the immune mechanisms that get activated in response to viral infections are well examined and understood, little is known about how viruses induce pain. Despite pain being one of the early ...
