A fungal infection has been shown to trigger a fruit fly's own immune system to destroy brain cells, leading to signs of ...

Insects may possess a hitherto unsuspected molecular complexity in their immune system, comparable to the antibody system of mammals, scientists report online this week in Science. "The number of ...

Insects have developed fascinating immune strategies to cope with pathogens, one of which is known as immune priming. This process allows insects to enhance their immune responses upon subsequent ...

Social insects, such as termites and ants, have developed complex immune systems that allow them to resist and manage diseases within their colonies. This phenomenon, known as social immunity ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Humans have an exceptional ability to deal with viruses. In most cases, your immune system is able to fight an infection. On the other hand, your body provides a spa-like ...

The preprint reviews detailed theories regarding the resistance to ICI therapy and how galectin-3 contributes to resistance. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI): Prospects for Galectin-3 Modulation ...

Cells known as haemocytes play an important role in the caterpillar immune system. Like our white blood cells, these help development and growth. Some haemocytes can envelop and destroy tiny microbial ...

Our findings revealed that a novel cyclophilin effector may interact with plant PUB33 to suppress plant immunity and facilitate insect feeding in a PPIase activity-dependent manner.
