The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a more complete understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to exploit "trained immunity" for the development of new ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, researchers presented a deep learning framework, termed DeepAIR, to accurately predict adaptive immune receptor (AIR)-antigen binding by integrating ...

The immune-boosting power of a fever is surprisingly ancient. Cold-blooded creatures like fish typically move to warmer environments to help fight infections. In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that ...

Our latest Focus Issue looks at what we’ve learnt over the past decade and what’s next for the field of trained immunity.

B cells are thought to play a critical role in innate and adaptive immunity, but their exact role in anti-tumor immunity remains unknown. Researchers with expertise in immunology collaborated with ...

Children have largely avoided severe COVID-19 symptoms because they have a strong initial 'innate' immune reaction that quickly defeats the virus. And now, researchers led by scientists at the Garvan ...

Population bottlenecks caused by stark population loss due to illness or habitat destruction caused mammals' disease immunity to decline, according to a new study led by computational biologists in ...
