Arachnology and toxinology have increasingly illuminated the structural, biochemical and evolutionary diversity of venom ...

The immune response to Plasmodium falciparum malaria encompasses a complex interplay between innate and adaptive systems, tailored to each stage of the parasite’s life cycle. During the ...

Invasive and superficial fungal infections pose a growing global health challenge, especially in individuals with weakened immunity. The host employs a coordinated network of innate and adaptive ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

The rapidly advancing field of neuroimmunology has revealed that the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems maintain continuous, bidirectional communication ...

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and autoimmune conditions when it turns against the body. The protein, Granzyme K, ...

The immune system is a complex response of various cells that detect and elicit mechanisms to eliminate disease. This orchestrated response in healthy individuals overcomes infections and foreign ...

In a new experiment, scientists used virtual reality to show that the brain can sense virtual infection to trigger the body’s immune system, before the first microbe ever makes contact. Study: Neural ...
