Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune ...

Researchers equipped study participants with virtual reality headsets and observed how their brains and immune systems ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways—ways that have important implications for the development ...

Experts make human volunteers face approaching pathogens in virtual reality and find that specific brain regions become ...

The immune system comprises two immunity strategies: the innate and the acquired (adaptive) immune system. The innate immune system provides a general protection from pathogens and must react quickly.

The innate immune system recognizes broad molecular patterns, such as molecules that certain RNA viruses generate as they replicate. It is often the first line of defense against a threat, but the ...

A new mRNA-based vaccine triggers a response from the innate immune system to help arm the body against cancer, a mouse study ...

But inflammation—the innate immune system’s natural response to harmful stimuli—can also exacerbate symptoms or even cause diseases, demonstrating the need to better understand the immune ...

An mRNA cancer vaccine triggered strong immune responses and improved treatment outcomes in mice, offering a new approach to ...

Seeing sick-looking faces in virtual reality triggers brain circuit changes related to threat detection and boosts activity of certain immune cells.

A common plant virus awakens the immune system to fight cancer—and it’s grown using sunlight, soil, and science.
