Dr. Gil Mor discusses sex-specific placental responses and long-term immune alterations from prenatal virus exposure.

A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...

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 ...

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 ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

Not everyone who is exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, gets the disease. New research published in June in Nature may partly explain why: In a 2021 experiment called a challenge study ...

Taken together, these advances suggest that part of age-related immune decline is driven by specific, potentially reversible ...

Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease that infects an estimated 100 million people globally each year, is notorious for its unpredictable severity. Some people experience little more than a fever and ...

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 ...
