Prospects for the development of adaptive medical immunology
The processes of adaptation of the human immune system to negative internal and external influences, including stress, infectious, environmental factors, are controlled by the neuroimmunoendocrine complex (NIEC). The normal functioning of the NIEC is the

Role of NPR1 in Systemic Acquired Stomatal Immunity
Stomatal immunity is the primary gate of the plant pathogen defense system. Non-expressor of Pathogenesis Related 1 (NPR1) is the salicylic acid (SA) receptor, which is critical for stomatal defense. SA induces stomatal closure, but the specific role of NPR1 in guard cells and its contribution to systemic acquired resistance (SAR) remain largely ...

The role of the acquired immune response in systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Profound alterations characterize the adaptive immune response in systemic sclerosis, and several layers of evidence support a prominent role exerted by immune cellular effectors and humoral mediators in the pathogenesis of this disease. These include (i) the presence of oligoclonal T cells in tissues undergoing fibrosis consistent with (auto)antigen ...

INFECTION-ACQUIRED VERSUS VACCINE-INDUCED IMMUNITY AGAINST COVID-19
The course of COVID-19 depends on a dynamic interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and the host's immune system. Although it is an emerging global health issue, little is known about the specificity, safety, and duration of the immunity elicited by the virus. This

Infections with extracellular trypanosomes require control by efficient innate immune mechanisms and can result in the destruction of the mammalian humoral immune system [PDF]
Salivarian trypanosomes are extracellular parasites that affect humans, livestock, and game animals around the world. Through co-evolution with the mammalian immune system, trypanosomes have developed defense mechanisms that allow them to thrive in blood,
