Scientists at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing report that two pore-forming proteins from the common ...

Scientists are using AI and genetic engineering to enhance plant immunity, offering a new defense against crop diseases.

Researchers have discovered a novel gut-brain sensory circuit in mice where specialized colonic cells sense bacterial flagellin and rapidly suppress feeding via the vagus nerve. This "neurobiotic ...

Natural pattern-recognition-receptor agonists in prophylactic vaccines for in situ vaccination of lymphoma. Authors: Mark Aleynick, Paul Peng, Linda Hammerich, Antoine Tanne, Judith Agudo, Brian D.

Host defenses rely on innate immunity, a rapid response based on pattern recognition, and adaptive immunity, a more slowly developing specific antigen-recognition system. This review summarizes fea ...

Immunostimulants also activate other pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) like retinoic acid-induced gene I (RIG-I), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1), nucleotide-binding ...
