The complement cascade, a cornerstone of innate immunity, has been increasingly recognised for its non-canonical role in sculpting neural circuits through synaptic pruning. Central to this process is ...
Louse-borne relapsing fever is an acute bacterial infection that triggers recurring episodes of high fever. It is caused by ...
Host Immune Responses to Arachnid Venoms and Toxins: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutic Development
Arachnology and toxinology have increasingly illuminated the structural, biochemical and evolutionary diversity of venom ...
The complement system in teleost fish constitutes a cornerstone of innate defence, integrating classical, lectin and alternative activation routes to eliminate pathogens and shape inflammatory ...
Innate Immunity is a nonspecific host defense mechanism against foreign antigens. It is the first line of defense in a host and occurs immediately or within hours after exposure. This type of immunity ...
The complement system is an important part of the innate immune system that helps fight infection, heal injury and remove our dead cells. Antibodies, which are proteins produced by our immune cells, ...
Humans are protected by two branches of the immune system. Innate immunity provides built-in defense against widespread characteristics of bacteria and viruses, while adaptive immunity memorizes ...
This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American The very first line of defence against any ...
Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the ...
Among people with sickle cell disease—an inherited blood disorder—acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death. The condition is the result of red blood cells becoming stiff, sticky, and ...
