Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own innate immune system. Evolutionary arms races — where one species is pitted ...

Our immune system is much older than we think. Long before dinosaurs existed, early life forms had developed a powerful ...

As the immune system weakens with age, scientists have found a way to restore some of its lost strength. By delivering mRNA to the liver, they created a temporary source of immune-boosting signals ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UK) have contributed to discovering a "control switch" inside our immune cells ...

Immune cells that help to fight off foreign invaders in the body also provide crucial support for muscles during exercise, suggests a mouse study published in Cell on 17 April 1. B cells are the ...

As our recent research shows, temperature directly affects the immune systems of vertebrates – regardless of how they ...

Our immune system protects against disease through a complex network of innate and adaptive components. It includes white blood cells, antibodies, blood marrow and the thymus gland. As well as ...

AgriLife Research scientists in Dallas are leading research to strengthen plant immune receptors against changing disease ...
