Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...
Scientists have discovered a new process in our immune systems that leads to the production of an important family of anti-viral proteins called interferons. They hope the discovery will now lead to ...
Photo taken on a light microscope of bone marrow derived dendritic cells generated for the study at the University of Kansas. LAWRENCE — A new paper from the University of Kansas overturns the idea ...
When STING is triggered, TANK-binding kinase (TBK1) activates and leads to interferon production. However, Tan and his team wanted to identify other transcription factors regulated by STING. On ...
A growing body of research has identified a hidden immune defect, not written in DNA, that helps explain why certain people ...
Targeted inhibition of a "signal jammer" protein may improve how tumors respond to immunotherapy. Published today in Nature, a new study demonstrates how some cancer cells use the protein ...
Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs ...
