This is part of a series of stories on the protective role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the gut and other tissues, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 infection. One area that hasn’t received all that much ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...

In a recent study published in Nature Immunology, researchers analyzed the innate and adaptive responses to the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...

When the worldwide death toll from Covid-19 surpassed five million two weeks ago, it served as a grim reminder that more than lockdowns and vaccines will be needed to end the pandemic. A new study, ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how the use of a radiation-based immunogenic vaccine combined with a macrophage “checkpoint inhibitor” can boost innate and ...
