When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

Discover what immunity is and learn effective ways to enhance your immune system for better health and well-being.

Two proteins ensure that cells can take up iron when needed. If both control proteins are switched off in mice, the animals develop severe anemia, as expected. At the same time, surprisingly, a cell ...

Malaria-induced innate immune modulation of an atypical cellular population plays a substantial role in driving and maintaining immunity against malaria, a new study from scientists at Stanford ...
