Hubert Yin has been thinking about one type of cell receptor since he joined the BioFrontiers Institute, and it is a receptor worthy of that kind of time. Yin, an associate professor of chemistry and ...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute a critical family of proteins that detect conserved microbial structures, known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), to rapidly initiate the innate ...

Researchers from the University of Bonn are using an innovative method to watch immune receptors go about their business. Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, ...

Toll-like receptor (TLR) and saponin adjuvants have each improved vaccine potency and safety. Now, researchers at Stanford University report that combining them in a nanoparticle format improves not ...
