A section of Goodsell et al.’s magnificent “Integrative illustration for coronavirus outreach” highlighting the packaging of the viral genetic material (in pink) by the scaffold “nucleocapsid protein” ...
Researchers at the University of Kansas have discovered a human gene, the protein PARP14, plays a role in regulating ...
Trained immunity is reshaping our understanding of host defense by demonstrating that innate immune cells once thought to lack memory can be reprogrammed to mount heightened responses to subsequent ...
As ESMO 2025 came to a close last month, pharmaphorum had the pleasure of catching up with Dr Sandeep Reddy, Chief Medical ...
RIDE-001, a first-in-class nanomedicine, effectively trained myeloid progenitor cells to elicit myeloid-driven anticancer innate immune responses, as demonstrated in preclinical studies across multipl ...
Clinical research has long focused on ways to harness the actions of the immune system. From vaccines to immunotherapies, researchers have used their knowledge of the immune system to develop ...
A novel PET tracer targeting a receptor in myeloid cells can help monitor disease progression in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. We literally did very excited happy dances in the preclinical ...
There is significant crosstalk between DNA damage response (DDR) pathways and innate immune pathways. Both the individual pathways and their interactions are key areas of interest for the development ...
At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the landscape of cancer management. However, acquired resistance and response variability point to rational combination strategies as the goal ...
