Neutralizing antibodies and memory T cells are two components of adaptive immunity conferred by viral infection or vaccination. Neutralizing antibodies physically bind to viruses to block them from ...

An article published by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology researchers in the prestigious journal Nature presents new insights about the evolution of the immune system. The team’s findings ...

Early immune activation marks the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, revealing potential for early intervention and improved ...

The evolution of biological complexity is associated with the emergence of bespoke immune systems that maintain and protect organism integrity. Unlike the well-studied immune systems of cells and ...

A new study has shown that person-to-person variation in antibody immunity plays a key role in shaping which influenza (flu) strains dominate in a population. The work, published today as a Reviewed ...

Stereoview of mutation loci in mPlum based on the crystal structure of DsRed. Red: the RFP chromophore; yellow: emission shift mutations; gray: neutral mutations. A team of researchers at the ...

The evolutionary origin of adaptive immune receptors is difficult to study below the phylogenetic level of the jawed vertebrates because PCR methods yield a high number of artefacts. In November 4 ...

Immune dysregulation is a hallmark of cancer. We have shown that breast tumours genomically co -evolve with the immune response, resulting in immunoevasion (Sammut et al., Nature Immunology 2024; ...

A research team at the University of Münster has investigated for the first time how the confrontation of bacteria with hosts that have an activated innate immune system affects the evolution of ...

In a new study, a team of researchers at Ashoka University have discovered that fast-acting pathogens — the kind that grow quickly and kill rapidly — may significantly slow down how hosts, including ...
