The human immune system is split into the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Both systems work in harmony to protect us from infections and disease. Here, we discuss their ...

This is part of a series of stories on the protective role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the gut and other tissues, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 infection. One area that hasn’t received all that much ...

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a family of innate immune cells that have diverse functions during homeostasis and disease. Subsets of ILCs have phenotypes that mirror those of polarized helper T ...

Both innate and adaptive immune responses play an important role in controlling influenza virus infection, according to a new study. Both innate and adaptive immune responses play an important role in ...

Immuno-oncology is an evolving field of study on the role of the immune system in cancer initiation and growth. This introductory module describes the purpose of the human immune system, components of ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

A digital pathology demonstration of an "immune hot" ICOS+/CD45RO+ immunephenotype and the impact on survival in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2019 ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected hundreds of millions of people over the world, with more than 4.5 million deaths. The most striking part of the outbreak is the fact that ...
