Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins that are generated by the immune system to identify and ...

The interplay between host and pathogen constitutes a dynamic contest in which the immune system endeavours to identify, contain and eliminate invading microorganisms, while pathogens evolve ...

For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

Researchers show that the immune system can recognize and control the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a finding that can inform the study of latency in other infections of the nervous ...

Invasive and superficial fungal infections pose a growing global health challenge, especially in individuals with weakened immunity. The host employs a coordinated network of innate and adaptive ...

In the middle of a global pandemic, people now, more than ever, are invested in understanding how their immune system works. Although many questions remain in the field of immunology research, The Sun ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to a trio of scientists – two of them American and one Japanese – for unraveling how the immune system protects us from thousands of ...

Most humans have long-lived infections in various tissues—including in the nervous system—that typically do not result in disease. The microbes associated with these infections enter a latent stage ...

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinsky Institute has today decided to award the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to Mary Branco, Fred Ramsdell, and Simonakaguchi for their discoveries ...
