Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive. One of the immune system’s marvels is its

This announcement from the NIH is fantastic “NIH will no longer seek proposals exclusively for animal models” All new proposals should include modern alternatives: e.g. computational modeling and organoid style technologies w human components @mathonco https://t.co/LzX9ypljwn

This underscores the complexity of the innate immune system, which remains a black box. Unlike the adaptive immune system, where some mechanisms are well understood, we have little insight into how the innate system operates, integrates signals, or interprets them. #immunology
