Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified two lipids that work together with a quintessential protein known ...

The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral signaling. The findings clarify an early defense step and may inform ...

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune ...

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria. The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites ...

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 ...
